Treatment Approach

My therapeutic style is active, direct, challenging, warm and solution-focused, and I believe in the power of humor to facilitate difficult changes.  I enjoy working with adult and late adolescent individuals and couples of any sexual orientation, identity and cultural background.

Treatment is present-oriented and collaborative. I learn just enough about your history to understand where your current beliefs about yourself and your values come from. This knowledge helps me to customize practical tools and behaviors for you to try, which can be practiced between sessions.  I may recommend books, articles and films to help facilitate your reaching your goals.

I work efficiently and effectively.  My work is grounded in developmental, interpersonal,  self-psychological and cognitive theories of behavior change.
