I believe that many difficulties are related to our unconscious thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and the unhealthy defenses that we erect, usually in childhood, to protect ourselves against hurt. Once helpful, but now outdated, these defenses prevent self-awareness and the constructive resolution of our problems. These blocks to awareness can contribute to symptoms such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, interpersonal problems, addictive behaviors, etc. I can assist you in developing healthier coping skills, i.e, to identify your defenses, explore your underlying feelings, and rediscover your authentic self.

Its overwhelming and all consuming, lets work together to get to a better place. I am a clinical social worker for 20 years plus a Certified Divorce Coach. Lets connect.

I am a clinical psychologist working with adults, children, and couples. For over 6 years I have worked with combat veterans and their families. Prior to becoming a psychologist I was in the Marine Corps for 14 years. As therapist, my job is to meet you wherever you are and use my professional training and personal experience to help you move forward in the direction of your choosing to achieve your objectives.

It's hard to think about starting therapy. And maybe it's never worked in the past. And often it can be more difficult when you've experienced what is considered a trauma, even if you don't think of your life that way. You just know you're not happy and haven't been in a long time. Sometimes therapy works when you try one more time. Maybe you just have to be ready.

If you have gotten this far in your search for a therapist, you have made an important decision to get some help. This next step - finding someone you can trust to do this work with you - can be somewhat daunting. How do you make this choice? You really won't know who will be a good match for you until you sit down and speak with someone.

My expertise is working with couples who want to improve their communication and resolve conflict harmoniously. Strong emotions such as anger, depression, and anxiety can stymie resolution or reconciliation. Are you both committed to your relationship, but struggling to resolve a conflict or get along? Learning how to process the dynamics in your relationships can empower you to make the changes you desire - including recovery from infidelity. I get excited when I have the opportunity to help couples find connection in the midst of the conflict. I also work with individuals who want help processing relationships.

Do you sometimes feel at a distance from your own life and relationships, a loss of initiative and aliveness to your experiences? Or become overly involved, quick to feel anxious and overwhelmed? In an engaged, supportive and interactive working relationship, you and I can identify and build upon strengths, goals and values, lend force and action to your search for meaning and belonging, and resolve emotional struggles. For example, you may want to target a specific issue that will involve learning new skills or adjusting thought patterns and behaviors in a life management model.
