My communication style

Good therapy should feel like a dialog. The therapy relationship is very different than a friendship, talking to a relative, or coaching. It's important to build trust so that we can go deep.

My journey to mental healthcare

I spent over 30 years as an Information Technology professional. Later in life I became a life and career coach but I found that unfulfilling. My own therapist suggest this was because coaching isn't deep enough for me to really help people. So, I went back to school and am now a licensed therapist. It's never boring!

My goals for you

We'll work together to first define your goals and determine how we'll know when you've reached them. I use a combination of "evidenced-based" modalities (e.g. CBT/DBT) in combination with psychodynamic and attachment based approaches.

Our first session

In the first session we'll work on seeing if we're a fit to work together for a while. I'll ask you open ended questions so we can see what your treatment goals might be and how we might get there. By the end of the session we'll know if we're meant to work together.
