Personal Statement:

The goals of my practice are to create a safe environment in which clients can comfortably address difficult issues without fear of judgment, and to develop strategies clients can use between sessions to make meaningful changes resulting in less suffering and more satisfaction with their lives. I blend cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness-based, hypnotic and self-relations approaches in my work. I see adults, children, adolescents, couples and families.
