Thank you for coming to my website! The information provided below will orient you to my practice and help you get to know me a little bit.

I provide individual, couples, and group therapy to young adults and adults. I also offer occasional workshops. If you are seeking treatment for a child or children, I would be happy to refer you to qualified child therapists in the area.

I view therapy as a partnership in which I will assist you to achieve your goals for therapy. My practice is client-directed and holistic, including attention to mind-body interactions. I am an eclectic therapist and will take a flexible and creative approach to our work. Some theories and techniques that I frequently use include humanistic, interpersonal, systems, and cognitivie-behavioral approaches. We will collaborate to discover what you find most helpful.

Our work will be confidential. Confidentiality is very important to me. I want you to feel safe in our work to discuss anything that is on your mind. Unless you request me to, and authorize me to do so in writing, I will not acknowledge to anyone that you are my client or repeat what you and I discuss in our work. There are a few unusual and limited situations in which I am required by law to break confidentiality. These situations occur rarely and we will discuss them in our first appointment: they have to do with life-or-death situations and with situations involving child or elder abuse; the courts also sometimes (rarely) subpoena therapy records. Even in the unlikely event of a situation such as these, I would collaborate with you in addressing it and try not to disclose information about you without your consent.

Questions or concerns? If you think you might like to work with me, I invite you to contact me with any questions or concerns you have about my practice and policies. I would like you to feel completely comfortable in your work with me. If you choose to engage in therapy with me, please know that I really like questions and feedback. Your reactions to our work will be very valuable and will help me best be able to assist you.
