I also work with
couples
trying to strengthen or rebuild their relationships.
Sometimes life gets overwhelming and the light at the end of the tunnel gets dim. I've been there and I know that at those times a little help can go a long way to put things back together again, to get a better perspective and/or to make necessary changes to get closer to that light again.

I invite you to
partner
with me in meeting yourself anew.
Our developing years can often be filled with confusion, fear, and other big emotions. Whether I’m working with children or the inner child, speaking with someone who can present a different vantage point and offer tools of healing from a non-judgmental and supportive place can be what we need to achieve wholeness. From coping and managing stressors, self-esteem and confidence building, social and relationship concerns, or self-discovery, I'm dedicated to supporting the growth and development of children, teens and young adults.

violence, sexual abuse and other life altering situations; I have had the privilege of assisting clients reshape and renew their lives.
Caseload is currently full. There are times when you may find life is too messy, too painful and you feel too alone with all of it. Therapy provides a time and place to share your inner struggles, fears and anxieties while receiving support, insight, perspective and new coping skills. The process allows you to heal and move forward with a stronger sense of who you've been, who you are now and who you are becoming.

(change your thoughts and habits) I really try to help
couples
rediscover the magic they once had.
There comes a time when we need help. I appreciate the courage anyone demonstrates when they make that call. I hope to create a space where individuals and families can receive that trusted assistance. I have been a therapist for thirty years. I was a tennis pro for ten years before that. I am aware of the process of change. There is a timing when an individual, or family, is ready to make those adjustments. In working with children, I involve the whole family. I especially enjoy the travels that the adolescent makes, and the perplexing attempts parents make in adjusting to this challenging phase. I work with addictions.

It is important that my patients feel respected and encouraged. My job is to really listen and help you feel understood. I also think my role is to give you lots of feedback and not just be a passive listener saying, "uh, uh, hmm, I see, hmm". I am a coach, cheerleader, teacher, confidante, and accountability
partner
. The biggest complaint I have heard over the years about any past therapists whom patients felt were not helpful was the complaint that the past therapist was way too passive. I work best with those that want a therapist high in empathy but is not passive.

Are you both tired of not feeling heard or understood? Do you feel as though being close is a distant memory? Are you wondering what brought you two together in the first place? If so, now is the time to work on your relationship. Too many
couples
wait until there is too little to salvage. There is nothing more precious than love, no larger feeling than love, and there is no greater pain when love is lost. Let's work together to get back to yours! I am accepting new clients and can take many different insurances, call for more information.

While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches.
