I believe that the most powerful change requires more than simply "talking about" problems. It occurs when my clients experience a real-life "shift" in their thinking and beliefs, in the feelings they are able to get in touch with, and in their ability to handle old situations in new ways. My approach as a counselor and therapist draws from many different types of counseling. My training has been in Gestalt therapy, Psychodrama, Experiential Marriage & Family therapy, Cognitive Behavior therapy, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). I believe that no single approach is right for everyone, so I take the best from each depending on the person and their problem.

I see people for a wide range of problems and find the range of issues interesting and rewarding. I see individuals and couples/families primarily. However, I also run anger management groups and court-ordered diversion groups.

The number of sessions a person needs is not pre-determined ahead of time. Some people have needed only 3 or 4 sessions, while others have worked with me for 6 months or longer. All counseling is custom tailored to the individual based on the kind of problem they're dealing with, their personal priorities, and what they've tried so far in order to resolve the problem.
