Navigating today's complicated world can be incredibly difficult... Romantic relationships, family, job, finances, health, general stress... And who can we talk to when we need to confide our deepest challenges? Who do we turn to when we've tried everything we can think of and finally realize we need some help? Choose a therapist who gets real results! Unlike most of my colleagues who mainly utilize Psychoanalytic and Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) therapies, my practice also uses Solution-Focused and Motivational-Enhancement approaches. I've extensive experience successfully counseling clients through relationship issues, anxiety, depression, substance use (including food/weight gain), confidence and self-esteem, sexual and performance issues, grief/loss and trauma, as well as other more serious psychological challenges... As a generalist I will help you face any and all obstacles that have stood in the way of your becoming the best you that you can be. Whether this is your first time seeking help or if you've not gotten the results you hoped for from therapy in the past, together we will take a fresh new approach, make quick progress, and then support those gains as you move forward...
