Our lives are full of obstacles that can prevent us from living life to its fullest. Some obstacles we seem to bring upon ourselves, while others are thrust upon us. Overcoming these obstacles can be difficult and sometimes painful. I offer a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic setting. Together, we explore the specific challenges you are facing which impede your ability to live life to its fullest. I incorporate a variety of therapeutic interventions. Based upon your individual goals and life experiences, the focus of our work may be solution-based, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic or interpersonal. Often, a combination of multiple therapeutic approaches is effective.
