Style:

My style is respectful and client-centered. I help clients elicit their strengths and inner resources using both an emotion and thinking focus. I also provide the necessary professional skills for clients to meet their emotional, psychological and interpersonal needs.  I work with clients from a variety of backgrounds.

Individual Therapy:

The course of therapy involves an assessment, diagnosis and treatment plan. The length of treatment depends of the severity of the problem.

Couples Therapy:

Therapy provides couples a format to discuss difficult topics in a safe and constructive environment.  I help couples build stronger bonds and improve communication that reduces reactivity and enhances closeness. 

Sessions can include the keys of good expression and listening, how family of origin issues affect your relationship, working with emotions and identifying needs, and creating new goals and rituals.  The length of treatment varies from couple to couple.

Critical Incident Stress Counseling:

If you are experiencing stress from a critical incident such as a domestic dispute or an unexpected sudden death of a family member or friend, you may benefit from Critical Incident Stress Counseling. This short term counseling can be done in-office or over the phone.

I am not a direct provider with any insurance plans, including Medicare. Many plans do make provisions for reimbursement for therapy for out-of-network benefits. You will receive an insurance reimbursement form at the time of your office visit that you may submit if you wish for reimbursement from your insurance carrier.
