When people come to treatment with problems, it is important to remember that they are trying to cope with them in the best way they can.

Finding a safe, supportive, and comfortable place are just some aspects of the therapist search. I welcome ...

I have loved working with students since 1987. The process of discovering one’s authentic self can be exhilarating and the rewards are exponential. My approach focuses on strengths, augmenting the health that is already present. Learning how to see one’s self (and the world) in this way is a courageous and creative process. By recognizing patterns in relating — to one’s self and others— there’s a clearer sense of what’s precious to you, what gets in the way, and how you can realistically be ...
