Welcome to my website. You're probably here to find out if I could be the right therapist for you and I encourage your search. For therapy to be successful, it is vital that there be a good "fit" between all parties. What that means on the most basic level is that the therapist should be someone with whom you want to share your thoughts and feelings. Ultimately, the only way to know for sure is to meet face to face, but checking out websites is a good place to begin. As you search each clinician's site, I believe that the most useful piece of information you can glean is their philosophy about therapy, in general, and their approach, in particular.

My view on therapy is that each person experiences it in a very different way and takes what he or she needs from it. It's a very effective means to help you make the changes that will give you a better life, whatever that may mean to you. Maybe you don't know why things just feel "off", or why you seem to be stuck in an unhappy relationship or unfulfilling job. Or perhaps you do know why, but haven't been able to take action to alter your situation. You may feel that your life is lacking meaning, that you have a pattern of engaging in destructive relationships or, that events from your past are affecting how you are living in the present. Therapy can help you navigate through all these difficulties.

Seeing a therapist is also quite useful when you're going through a crisis, particularly one of loss. Whether you're reeling from a divorce, job firing, or the death of a loved one, the grieving process and its aftermath are often very difficult. Having the support of a therapist along the way can be a great comfort.

In my practice, I have helped people deal with all the aforementioned problems. My approach is eclectic, which means I draw on several different theories, as opposed to following one particular school of thought. I use a combination of psycho-dynamic, cognitive, and behavioral techniques when working with people. In my experience, cookie-cutter approaches to therapy don't work. I recognize that everyone is different, so consequently, I tailor the therapy to the needs of the person sitting before me. In addition, I am an active participant in the sessions, giving input and offering advice, when I feel it is warranted. I believe therapy needs to be a team effort, with all parties contributing equally, if a successful outcome is to be achieved.
