When you have tried to resolve issues on your own, and things just aren't changing, it is time to seek professional help. Perhaps your or your significant other's past and unresolved issues are what is creating the distress; an inability to trust, to feel joy and happiness, to pursue dreams.

You're entirely powerless. You've begun isolating from your family. The shame is so deep that you're afraid to look them in the eye. They'll surely see the heavy secret you've been carrying. You've tried to be "good enough" for him, but the cycle of emotional abuse and manipulation is never-ending. You've begun to question your sanity. You made excuses for their behavior, his "moods". You've changed yourself to appease him and lost yourself in the process. You no longer recognize the woman in the mirror with her sad and tired eyes. You've disconnected from you friends and the things you once loved. You've lost who you are.

My goal is to assist teens and their families establish healthy communication and connection. I offer warmth and empathy, coupled with education, experience, and evidence-based tools. For the past ten years I have help teens improve their self-concept, establish healthy boundaries, improve mood, and work through traumas. Also, my training in family systems theory allows me to understand the important role each family member plays in the well-being of their child. Therefore, I work with parents on providing the support and structure needed to help their teen strive.

Pretending everything is fine is exhausting. Coping with everything life throws at you, juggling different roles, and trying to be all things to all people. You feel guilty and inadequate and worry that someday all those plates you're spinning will come crashing down. Maybe you're an amazing "somebody" who often feels like an invisible and overwhelmed "nobody." Or maybe if they see you, they will know that you're not enough. Your body is not enough. Your relationship is not enough. You're incapable of fixing everything yourself. You feel lost and alone, living in silent despair.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and EMDR practitioner in private practice. I have extensive experience working with individuals and families for over 11 years. In my practice I promote clients towards growth, self awareness and empowerment through a variety of therapeutic techniques. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) psychodynamic and humanistic (client centered) therapy are foremost in my practice. I know that each individual and their needs are unique and I believe in offering individualized care for each one of my clients.

If you struggle with a lack of connection, bitterness, criticism, painful growing apart and unfulfilled expectations with your loved one… If you experience distress, don’t wait to seek support. The effects of resentment, contempt, lack of intimacy and compassion, and childhood or past trauma can be tremendous. You don’t need to navigate your healing journey alone. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment and to work with you on addressing emotional wounds. I specialize in relationship distress, and use evidence based therapeutic modalities in my practice. I also offer Couples Retreats: www.couple-care.com
