Getting Started...what you need to know...

If you are thinking about therapy, for yourself or a loved-one, there are probably a number of questions on your mind.  Let's see if I can answer some of them in these pages.
 
You may be seeking therapy or counseling services because of a crisis in your life, a problem that's been with you for a long time, or because you want to feel more happy and alive.  Whatever the reason, you would undoubtedly prefer to spend your time and money getting the most effective care.  I can provide that.

My goal as a therapist is to create a secure environment where you can identify your issues and needs, achieve clarity and make changes in thinking and behavior which enable you to reach your full potential. I take a comprehensive approach to client wellness and will consider multiple aspects of your life in choosing the direction and method of therapy.  I offer counseling sessions for individuals, couples and families dealing with many issues.  Below are problem areas in which I have considerable experience:

  • Depression ( acute and chronic)
  • Trauma
  • Anxiety and Panic
  • Mood Disorders
  • Family Conflict
  • Grief and Bereavement
  • Parenting
  • Self-esteem
  • Women's Issues
  • Emotional Intimacy
  • Life Transitions
  • Workplace Stress

Please be assured we can address whatever issues you bring to therapy.  If you have a problem well outside my areas of expertise, I can provide a referral to a colleague with considerable experience in that area.  When you begin therapy, a written plan describing the problems, goals and methods of treatment is presented to you in a session following our initial consultation and assessment. Together we will continue to evaluate progress toward your goals and the therapy process itself.

Call my office to schedule an initial consultation, or if you need to speak with me directly, I will be happy to discuss your questions and concerns.  A courteous and well-informed receptionist will answer any questions about scheduling or payment.
