Services
I am a private practitioner.
This gives me the opportunity to work with you in ways that could be far different from someone who works for an agency or counseling center.
I can provide you with a "treatment" experience that is more personalized and tailor-made to your unique needs and circumstances.
I have much more flexibility in the ways in which I can work with you.
No "cookie cutter" approach here.
I have "progressed" to private practice, in part, because of the many (30) years of experience I have had in the field of psychotherapy, and due to the significant and varied knowledge I have accumulated over this extended period of time.

I provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families.
I work with individuals 16 years old, and older.
Over the thirty years that I have been in practice as a therapist, I have worked with a very broad and wide range of issues, problems, and conflicts.
Below, I have listed a sampling of the kinds of issues and concerns that clients have come to me for help with.
Some of the more common reasons people seek out my professional services are to get help with the following problems (not listed in any particular order): stress; anxiety; depression; excessive guilt and/or worry; relationship difficulties; work and school difficulties; compulsions, addictions and chemical dependencies; eating problems and disorders; chronic tiredness, fatigue, and general lack of motivation; "mid-life crisis;" challenges resulting from lifestyle transitions; sleep difficulties; physical problems that their physicians cannot satisfactorily treat; the aftereffects of (childhood and adult) trauma; the consequences of emotional, physical, and/or sexual abuse; a general lack of satisfaction with their lives, and a wish to achieve their fullest potentials.

Everyone has problems and challenges.
Life can be very difficult.
Even the most mentally healthy people, at times, experience a great deal of stress that can overwhelm their personal resources.
From my perspective, counseling and psychotherapy provide valuable, and practical, education for living.
Emotional development - as with learning new and more effective coping skills - is, to me, more important to gaining happiness and satisfaction in life than is intellectual development.
Almost all of what we learn in school and in our society is focused on intellectual development rather than on emotional development.

Many mental health professionals (referred to below as either counselors or therapists) do counseling and therapy with couples.
They use many different approaches, techniques, and theories in their work.
They often prefer to use a particular therapeutic framework for thinking about and conducting their work.
These approaches have such names as cognitive-behavioral, systems, solution focused, emotionally focused, client centered, behavioral, psychodynamic, Imago, and humanistic.
Some counselors tend to do short-term work, while others do long-term work.

For some people, it may seem like a big step to contact a therapist - especially if they have never worked with one before.
It may also be difficult too for people who have had a bad - or not particularly helpful - experience with a previous therapist or counselor.
Or perhaps you have heard about other peoples' experiences with "helping professionals."
When working with a therapist it is extremely important to feel safe, comfortable, and trusting.
Sometimes, due to previous experiences people have had -whether with therapists/counselors or with other people - they feel reluctant to reach out again for connection with, and help from, others.
