My philosophy regarding therapy is that a person seeking professional help has already tried their best to find solutions for their problems and now need additional support to find resolution. I provide client-centered, feedback oriented and supportive counseling, focusing on finding new methods to resolve issues. My style is directive, encouraging clients to try new behaviors and gain new perspectives that can help shift old thoughts and behaviors to a healthier level. I am trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, in the Gottman Method for couples counseling and use the Family Systems model for family issues. I have been a therapist for over 20 years, have had the benefit of working with clients of many different cultures and socioeconomic status.
Additional areas of focus: Abandonment, Caregiver issues and stress, Communication problems, Control issues, Divorce and separation, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Life purpose, Men's issues, Midlife crisis, Self-love, Women's issues, Workplace issues
