In providing individual, couples and family counseling, I create a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment for clients experiencing a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues that are causing disruption in their lives. I adapt my therapeutic intervention style to best fit the needs of my clients. My primary approach is Psychodynamic, and I work with clients to understand the factors underlying conflicts and symptoms that they are experiencing. I also utilize other therapeutic approaches such as Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, Gottman Method, and Integrative Couples Therapy when appropriate. I also specialize in treating individuals and families affected by substance abuse and am a staff psychologist for the Center for Harm Reduction Therapy, a unique client-therapist collaborative approach that combines substance misuse treatment with psychotherapy. Harm Reduction Therapy is effective in allowing treatment to address both substance use and the issues behind it. The Center for Harm Reduction Therapy, is a certified drug and alcohol treatment program. More information can be found on the Center’s website http://harmreductiontherapy.org/
