The power of the Human Spirit, when nurtured with respect and compassion, can overcome negative and self-defeating beliefs and behaviors. My belief is that everyone who commits to psychotherapy has the ability to heal and make more effective choices in their lives. 

My work includes a variety of modalities from experiential techniques such as psychodrama to more traditional psychodynamic techniques -- whatever is most helpful at the time.  Clients participate in setting clear goals for their treatment. One may begin in individual or couple's therapy and then be assessed for group therapy, if it appears that the client's needs can be augmented by group therapy.  These decisions are made along with the client. 

When the individual, couple or family has reached all their goals and had an opportunity to incorporate their insights and the resultant behavior changes outside the therapy office, termination is discussed and plans are made for closure in preparation for discharge.
