About
My approach is collaborative, ie, we figure out together what's going on and how best to work towards better outcomes. My patients are children, adolescents and their families, couples and adults - young and old. I have a good deal of experience with acting-out behaviors, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, trauma-based behaviors. While some difficulties can be more skillfully dealt with, I am skeptical that life's problems can be 'resolved' forever and ever. Emotions and thoughts will forever arise, offering endless opportunities to learn different responses, ultimately transforming habitual reactions into conscious responses that work better for us. It's not easy to look around and inside at why things are not working out. We are often rigid in our thinking, not accommodating towards our deeper self, not very accepting. When we acknowledge our strengths, talents and skills we are empowered to make things work better. My therapy dog Patches has unfortunately passed after years of good solid work. He was great at putting people at ease and I've learned much from him.
