My approach is interactive, empathic, and responsive to each client's needs and difficulties. I see therapy at its best as an authentic encounter between two people, one of whom is a skilled listener who can help the other understand conflicts, alleviate pain, find meaning in his/her unique story, and discover solutions to current problems. I have extensive experience working with individuals and couples, and with late adolescents and young adults. My areas of expertise include anxiety and depression, issues of late adolescence and young adulthood, relationship issues, loss and bereavement, and sexual and marital problems treated in either individual or couples therapy.
