Providing healing experiences in therapy, I work collaboratively with you to find ways to change and grow that work for your unique situation. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, which means I've had the master's level training of individual counselors, in addition to training focused on the 'systems' of relationships.

"Are you having difficulty managing barriers that are keeping you from living life as completely as you would like? Working on agreed upon goals, I help clients with skills that offer movement towards change. Are you experiencing high anxiety, panic, thoughts of suicide, or relationship problems that seem impossible to change?"

"I share space in a large individual private practice with psychiatrists, a psychologist and a social worker. I work with adults experiencing a variety of issues, including anxiety and mood disorders, personality disorders, PTSD, and addictions. Many of my patients are seeking help with issues from early childhood, including early trauma and childhood abuse. Some patients desire to understand their relationship difficulties, and others want to know more about child rearing, job dissatisfaction, or recent trauma. Some patients are considering divorce so I will work with them individually or as a couple."

"Something isn't working in your relationship. Maybe the conflict is leaving you hurt or hopeless. Or there's been an affair, and you can't get back to normal. Perhaps you're an entrepreneur, and the stress of the business is poisoning the relationship. You might even be on the brink of calling it quits-unsure if you really want to stay or go. It can be easy to get overwhelmed and discouraged. I offer Gottman Method Couples Therapy, a research-based and goal-oriented approach to reducing conflict, improving communication, rebuilding trust and intimacy, and healing your relationship."

"I believe we can become ashamed of events in our lives, or carry past regrets. Without addressing these issues, we might come to believe these problems are a part of us, and become negative toward ourselves and others. We may begin to experience and internalize pain and suffering which can affect our daily living and relationships. Through counseling, you can experience freedom, confidence and kindness toward yourself and others. Working collaboratively, I will support you in developing the tools, skills and insight to create positive change."

"Every crisis is an opportunity for growth and development. It is by taking risks and surmounting challenges through which real and lasting transformation can occur. Although one of my therapist roles is to provide support, I also challenge my clients to think, feel, and behave differently. As a therapist, I prioritize developing and maintaining an open, nonjudgmental, and trusting relationship with my clients. I strive to be authentic and encourage the same of my clients. I help clients identify and meet their therapeutic goals through the development of insight and/or new skills. I also emphasize process, rather than outcome."

"My approach to change involves listening to all of the parts of you, starting with the part that wants something different and better, so that we can work together to address what gets in the way. I'm a firm believer in the power of the therapeutic relationship to transform my clients' experiences of themselves, their relationships, and their lives. Most of my clients are looking for ways to deal with pain - painful feelings, relationships, or past experiences. Sometimes, it even feels like we're causing this pain ourselves, but we don't know how to stop."

"I believe that sometimes in our lives we need guidance with difficult decisions and challenging life circumstances. Psychotherapy can be beneficial to every person. Adolescents and children often need specialized treatment to help them become competent independent adults. Parents seek to have their children develop healthy values and beliefs. Getting these behaviors to take root requires a clear plan, based on sound scientific theory. This can be a challenging and frustrating journey. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques based on years of experience to identify my clients needs and provide the best direction."

"I see adults, couples, families, children and adolescents who are attempting to cope with significant relationships and life events which have been overwhelming. I believe it is important for each person to be heard and understood. Each person who comes is given the opportunity to share what is important to them. Together we decide how therapy will be helpful. A safe environment within a therapeutic relationship is created that allows for change, growth and healing."

"I strongly believe in prevention and early intervention, as well as allowing individuals with past or present emotional challenges to work at their own pace over the long term. I realize sometimes therapy involves some "risk-taking", such as trusting in the therapeutic relationship and facing uncomfortable or unfamiliar parts of oneself. I do my best to provide an open, safe enviroment for individuals to face those issues."

"I have more than twenty five years of experience and training. Transitional experiences can be challenging, whether forced upon us or welcomed. While it is often easier for us to recognize the stress of a job loss, death of a loved one, or end of a relationship, even positive changes can challenge our coping skills.

I am committed to providing evidenced based counseling in a supportive environment to children, teens, and adults."

"'Ring the bells that still can ring; forget your perfect offering; there is a crack in everything; it's how the light gets in.' (Leonard Cohen) When clients come in with cracks in their lives, I am committed to pointing towards the light. I love my job.
Although I am educated and experienced in classical psychotherapeutic theory and practice, I have a spiritual foundation to my work. I encourage my clients to connect to an inner, Loving Wisdom -- and I am committed to doing the same. It is through that connection that we both are healed."
