About

Therapy is not a long-term, drawn-out process. Some individuals may need extensive therapy, but most need help at particular times of crisis or when they realize that they need another perspective on themselves or their relationships with their husband or wife, children, family, co-workers, or friends. My approach begins with the here and now, and I assist clients in developing concrete ways to overcome issues standing in their way. My belief echoes the old saying, "You are not the problem; the problem is the problem. I offer short-term, goal-oriented therapy, working through difficult problems such as anxiety, depression, anger management, divorce, substance abuse, sexual, professional, or relationship problems. My training in REBT centers on actions, not talk, helping you to overcome a temporary set-back or sudden need to deal with long-term issues.
