I work with women - mothers, daughters, aunts, sisters, and children, to help facilitate and enjoy healthy, loving relationships. Together we develop the insight and skills necessary to experience the pleasure of love. We may explore trauma, loss, grief, anger, repressed desire, lack of vitality, and current challenging relationships. My orientation is analytical, depth/archetypal, and feminist. I take into consideration the presence and power of the unconscious, and how it works to encourage our growth and renewal. I am committed to supporting women and women's empowerment, self-esteem, and capacity for love, peace, and ease.

My personal belief about therapy is that healing happens in relationships rather than through a specific theory or intervention. Much of the time, problems arise in relationship to other people or things, not by themselves so it makes sense to find and practice solutions in a therapeutic relationship with someone like me. Gaining new insight combined with action can be just what is needed to help you feel unstuck.

Sometimes it takes a point-of-view outside your circle to see things differently, more clearly, or with different ideas of how to make change happen. My clients come in seeking guidance on how to do life better - how to communicate, or how to understand their value & purpose in the world or just at home. New insight, new tools, support & encouragement can make all the difference when you take the necessary step to care for yourself and ultimately, give your relationships the very best you.

Behavioral Issues Therapists
What happens in therapy for behavioral issues?
No matter the type of therapy, individuals form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is often therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Individuals learn to identify situations that are especially troublesome for them and acquire new patterns of thinking and behaving. In therapy for ADHD, one of the most common behavior issues for children, individuals learn how to improve frustration tolerance, control impulsivity, manage attentional focus, and gain skills of self-organisation.
What therapy types help with behavioral issues?
Many types of therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Perhaps best-known and most widely tested is cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT), in which individuals learn new behavioral strategies and curb reactivity to frustrating or distressing situations that trigger disruptive behaviour. Anger, anxiety, mood disorders, impulse control problems are commonly addressed in CBT. Family therapy or parent management training is often helpful to reduce parent-child conflict and behavioral difficulties at home.
How long does therapy last for behavioral issues?
Among popular approaches to treating behavioral concerns, CBT is considered a short-term therapy intended to be administered in 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Parent training in behavior management, often used when the underlying cause of behavior issues is ADHD in children under 12, usually occurs in weekly sessions for 8 to 16 weeks. When behavioral issues stem from persistent aggression or defiance, therapy may last for months, and usually targets both children and their parents.
How effective is therapy for behavior issues?
Studies show that therapy for behavior issues in children is highly effective and may prevent the development of antisocial behavior later in life. Family intervention—parent management training or family therapy, both of which involve parents and children together—is considered most effective, notably for children under age 12 who persistently engage in aggressive, defiant, rule-breaking or other disruptive behavior. Whether provided alone or in combination with medication, CBT is highly effective in helping people regulate their emotions, and for people with ADHD, it addresses impulsiveness, hyperactivity and attentional focus.
