INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Individual Adults
You will find an atmosphere which is welcoming and calm. Here you can confidentially discuss any aspects of what you are going through without being rushed or judged. As you gain confidence in this environment and process, we will discuss in depth the difficulties you are experiencing. My training and experience allows for me to draw from various therapeutic approaches to assist your healing and growth. Specifics of the therapy process are as varied as are individuals. Our sessions may include times of discussion, collaberation, silence, creative expression, sound/music, somatic (body) awareness, mindfulness and reflection.

Adolescents
In my years of working with teens and preteens, I know that many adolescents benefit from a neutral, non-judgmental place to ponder and talk about their experiences and feelings. A place which is private, consistent and allows for expressive creativity. I offer guidance and support around issues such as: scholastic pressures, body image, parent's divorce and understanding for themselves what is "the right thing to do".

Length of time spent in psychotherapy varies from person to person. Upon discovering the benefits of therapy, some people choose to make a long term commitment to their process. Others choose to work on a specific and issue and then end therapy. I will help you to decide what you believe is best for you.


COUPLE THERAPY

My work with couples begins with my providing an emotionally safe environment in which you and your partner can bring up "tough subjects" needing to be addressed. Through in-depth discussion, we explore these issues from each person's perspective. I do not judge or take sides during this process. I work with you to clarify and improve your communication, to deepen mutual understanding and help you to create solutions.

We also focus on enhancing what is best in your relationship. These conversations are a chance to get back in touch with the positive feelings which brought you together in the first place and to generate more of what is most loving in your connection with each other.

All ethnic and sexual identities are welcome in my practice, as are couples of all age ranges.
