I have over 25 years of experience as a therapist, so I can help you feel better and make progress with your personal goals. My clients describe me as warm, good-humored, and practical. Working with me, you can expect: *A knowledgeable, caring therapist who has worked with all sorts of people and situations. *Respect and a nonjudgmental environment. *Approaches that have scientific evidence to verify their usefulness. *Feedback on how you come across to others. *Greater understanding and compassion for yourself and others. *Expanded support. *Holistic views. I specialize in working with motivated people who are ready to make positive changes. I emphasize your strengths and help you understand the fears or other obstacles that may be blocking you. I offer constructive perspectives and coping tools. In addition to being a licensed therapist, I have an MFA in creative writing. If you like, you can use targeted personal writing to enhance your therapy. I'm also trained in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Laughter Yoga! I can suggest "homework." Please see my website for my current hours of operation and for financial/insurance information.
