Psychotherapy with coaching approach, coaching with therapeutic approach

My approach is practical, solution focused and strength based. My goal is to help you become self-sufficient. I provide you with the tools you need to feel confident in solving the issues that may come up in the future.

As a psychotherapist, I am an expert in listening.  I take time to understand your struggles and challenges in a methodical manner, liken to an anthropologist. I remain curious and inquisitive while exploring the heart of the issues in your unique context whether it is relationship, life transitions or self-growth; an accurate assessment is a critical first step in providing the most effective intervention.

As a coach, I strike a balance in providing emotional support and assisting you in developing viable, concrete solutions. I will hold you accountable with action steps so that you can continue to move forward during difficult transitions or a period of self-discovery.

With over two decades of working with individuals and families, I have accumulated many helpful tools to resolve different and challenging issues . All my interventions are trauma informed and developmentally sensitive while utilizing different modalities according to your needs. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Family Systems therapy, Solution Focused therapy, Narrative therapy and Nerosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT); a neurologically based trauma intervention.

Should your particular needs fall outside of my scope, I routinely work with several well-qualified colleagues, and I would be happy to make referrals as necessary.
