Short-term and long-term treatment available

Short-term work focuses on very specific goals that are attainable in a matter of weeks or a few months. Goals might include ending an unhealthy relationship, working through a specific trauma, working out parenting differences, or meeting to consult about a particular parenting issue or for a second opinion.

A longer treatment can involve recognizing past behavioral and thinking patterns that are not serving you and changing them to provide you with a more integrated and happier life.

I view therapy as a partnership; you and your therapist/I work together to better understand and enable you to make positive changes in your life. It is important to have a good ‘fit’ with your therapist usually you can determine that in the first meeting
