I work with individuals, couples, and groups. My main therapeutic influence has been Gestalt Psychotherapy. It is a dynamic, holistic, and experiential therapy that can help people work through their problems, most frequently related to "the big 4": depression, anxiety, career, and relationships. You can learn to appreciate and integrate all aspects of yourself. By focusing on here-and-now interactions and my becoming aware of how past experiences interfere with your current functioning, you can reach your potential for creativity, growth, and change.

Sometimes people are eager to start. Sometimes people are scared and need time. Sometimes people are skeptical that therapy can help at all. You need someone sensitive to your particular issues and your state of readiness to work on them.

If you contact me, you'll need to get a sense of me as a therapist and as a person. You'll want to find out if the chemistry between us is right. You will need a safe space where you don't just talk but where the work actually helps you make changes in your life. You don't need to be told what to do. What you need is a competent guide to help you experience fuller awareness of how you are currently living in the world. The goal is for you to make adult choices that are new and productive for you.
