You know you're a good parent. You know you're a good partner or spouse. So why are things so difficult? In spite of our best efforts and intentions, life can present us with unexpected challenges in our families, challenges that push us to our very limits. When family members are faced with special needs, chronic illness or estrangement it impacts everyone. Understanding this will allow you to be your best self and the best advocate or caregiver you can be. As a therapist, my goal is to give troubled families the support they need to restore balance and wellness.

Relationships are one of the most meaningful and rewarding elements of our lives. Whether it’s a relationship with a spouse, partner, friends, a parent or child, a relationship to work or money, or the relationship you have with yourself-- relationships affect us every minute of every day. But, the ability to cultivate them into healthy and loving creations is not innate. Most of us have experienced the pain that comes when relationships are toxic and unfulfilled. This pain comes in many forms: anxiety, sadness, guilt or shame, low self-esteem, loneliness, financial problems, addiction, etc. But, it doesn’t have to be that way.

I have had a successful and active practice for more than 30 years helping adults, families,couples, adolescents and children. While the treatment orientation I take is geared to the individual needs and issues of the client, I believe that an interactive and responsive relationship yields the most connection with the client and produces the most lasting results.

You are many things to the people in your life. You are a spouse/partner, parent, child, friend, and working professional. Who are you to yourself? Are you your harshest critic? You don’t have to be. You don’t have to be anxious, worried, unhappy, sad, depressed, lonely, or overwhelmed. You can take time for yourself without guilt. You don’t have to suffer alone and you can grow into the person you were meant to be. Let’s get to the truth of who you are and what you want in a professional, safe, and supportive environment.

Along with providing you with coping skills to thrive day-to-day, we will also uncover and explore unconscious thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so you can be more conscious of what's holding you back from being who you want to be. My approach to therapy is characterized by a mixture of directness, playfulness, engagement, and nurturance. I believe that relentless curiosity and self-exploration leads to a sense of identity and purpose and an understanding of our place in the world.

Life is too complicated not to need some help and support from time to time. I believe it takes a certain amount of bravery to recognize when we need help, and even more to seek it out. In order to provide the best possible support specific to you and your situation, I am most interested in getting to know you, your goals, and your expectations for therapy. I have a relaxed approach and have created a warm environment in which you can feel comfortable right away.

Here you are...Starting the therapy journey, looking for the right therapist at a time when you are probably most vulnerable and in despair. It can be a daunting process but congratulations on taking the first step! With my warm, non-judgmental and understanding approach I will help you on your journey to understand the difficulties you are facing. My specialities include mood disorders, grief, trauma and relationship issues. I will teach you basic cognitive behavioral techniques to address dysfunctional thought patterns and will delve deeper with you to seek to understand the underlying root causes and re-appearing patterns.

I have worked in the helping profession for over half my life. Finding the right therapist is important. I will work with you in a safe environment to carefully explore what matters most to you. I believe individuals need space to discover the strength within, face difficult, frightening, painful experiences. I also believe in nurturing the hopeful side of things; allowing you to explore what could be. When we work together you are not alone.

Sometimes many of us are faced with major challenges in life. We spend months if not years struggling with our confusion, not making sense of our fear, living with our depression, losing loved ones to our anger, dueling with our shame, and waking up with anxiety.Sometimes we feel so unsure of where to turn for help and who to talk to... I feel privileged to be in a profession dedicated to people on their challenging times. My top priority is the well being of my clients and their loved ones.

The people with whom I work well are those who have a curiosity about themselves, and a willingness to be open to change. Feeling stuck or trapped in patterns in life is a common complaint. I frequently ask questions that allow people to reconsider what they assumed are life's "givens" and what is inhibiting them from achieving their potential. Together we will work towards unlocking your core energy. My therapeutic style is filled with respect, honesty, warmth, and humor.

I believe you have the power and ability to change what you don't want; the question is, "are you willing?" your life is a result of choices and circumstances. Make a different choice, and you'll get a different result. You have the right to say "no" to what you don't want, and you have the right to say "yes" to what you do want. It's okay to tell yourself you're enough as is, it's okay to tell yourself that you are worthy of someone else's time, it's okay to tell yourself that you deserve happiness. And it's okay to be unapologetically yourself.

Life is full of ups and downs, and having a therapist to assist with processing stressors can help to keep our mental health in check. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, and I pull from different therapies, especially person-centered, existential therapy. I believe that real growth happens when we find the strength to address what is lacking in our lives so that we can take the appropriate steps to create greater meaning. Whether you are seeking therapy to unpack past traumas, manage current stressors, improve relationships, or deal with the many unknowns of life-we can work through it together and at your own pace.

Life brings us a range of experiences that can evoke feelings of joy, excitement, and happiness, where we feel as though we are on top of the world, to those that bring more discomfort including sadness, despair, anger, or uncertainty. As we traverse through our lives, it is without question, we will feel the full range of these emotions. When life does become more uncomfortable or unmanageable, therapy can assist us in finding ways to move through these moments by building resilience and coming out on the other side with grace and a better sense of ourselves.

Navigating through the world can be challenging and stressful so finding a therapist doesn't need to be another stressful task. My door is open to your questions, because ultimately this process is about a compassionate and collaborative relationship between you and I. My focus in therapy is helping you navigate through the obstacles you face and overcoming them one by one. Over the years I have been helping my clients finding joy and contentment by recognizing and utilizing their internal strength and the ability to control their lives. I look forward to hearing from you and moving forward to healing and happiness.
