Many individuals gain some relief or resolve their immediate problems after several sessions of therapy. At this point, they may decide to stop counseling or continue working on deeper issues. Depending on the nature of the problems, some people may require long-term therapy. We will discuss your goals, progress, and length of therapy on an ongoing basis.

What I Do
I am a licensed clinical psychologist working with adult individuals, couples, and families with adult members. The approach I have adopted is founded in years of training and clinical experience and is an integration of theories such as psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and family systems. It borrows from classic as well as current literature and research.
It is my belief that a warm and compassionate environment in therapy, in conjunction with problem solving and a growth-oriented attitude lead to better quality of life. The goal is to understand the thought and behavior patterns that take away from one’s happiness and create difficulties in relating to others; and to replace them with healthier ones.
Individual therapy may cover issues ranging from depression to stress and anxiety, anger, relationship and communication problems, self-esteem, identity, and grief/loss. These and other challenges can tax our ability to experience joy and may impact our relationships with others in a negative way.
If a problem is relational in nature, couples therapy may be the most powerful means of resolving it. I take every measure to be fair to all involved and adopt a positive and strength-based approach to help the couple reach their goals.
As much as we may like for all people in the family to get along, this may not materialize for many of us. Even though some family members or relations may appear to be beyond repair, there are often ways of conducting oneself differently in the family that improve things for everyone.
