What is Therapy?

At Frenchtown Psychotherapy, I bring more than 20 years of success in assisting individuals and families dealing with a variety of issues more effectively. My style is warm, compassionate, interactive, positive, and pragmatic. The goals we set will be clear in hopes that you quickly see results in your life. Working together we will determine what is needed for you to live a more balanced life and to provide you the tools to resolve the issues that brought you to therapy. I am trained in many different psychotherapy and counseling skills, including cognitive behavioral (CBT), Mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These tools that are empirically proven to bring about the positive changes you for which you have been looking.

If you find you are repeating negative behaviors that you know are not helping you to achieve your goals, if you struggle with anger, if you are anxious or depressed (or both), if how you think and interact gets you into trouble, or you just generally feel stuck, those are among the many things we can productively address. Whether you’ve never had a single session of psychotherapy or you have worked with many different counselors, if you are ready for change, I am committed to helping you achieve it.
