​​Awareness,   Compassion   and   Personal Growth 

As a therapist, psychotherapy is a collaborative way of being in resolving conflicts, whether clinical mental health matters or other issues within  ones life. Relationships and their patterns are complex and solutions often lay hidden from clear view. Happiness, contentment and satisfaction with life can seem elusive. Interpersonal-Relational Psychotherapy approach seeks to resolve conflict by a a greater awareness and appreciation of strengths, needs and  the value of personal experiences. Interpersonal-Relational Psychotherapy begins with a careful assessment of your circumstance and goals. Thus, laying the ground work for moving forward and living a meaningful-purposeful life.

​Many find this approach to therapy useful for a host of clinical mental health and relational concerns. Collaboration with medical management is frequently effective as well.
