I offer conflict resolution to individual, couples and families. I am also trained in divorce mediation to work on uncontested divorce where we can create a win/win situation for both parties. All the work can be done in a few sessions and this could save you legal fees that can run into tens of thousands of dollars.

At the heart of our struggles and pains are relationships. At the heart of our hopes and dreams are relationships. Whether it is your relationship with anxiety and depression, with your career, with your partner, sister, son, daughter, boss, or parent-everything is about relationships. Therapy helps you tackle some of the most challenging questions we all face. How do we repair what needs to be fixed in our relationships, including the relationship with ourselves? What needs attention, a new perspective, a better skill, or emotional resolve to enable you to become more authentic and improve your connection to self and others?

Life can be difficult to navigate, especially if you were not shown the way or given the tools to do so. Unfortunately there are enough of us out there who were not taught to recognize emotional overwhelm, how to tolerate discomfort, how to ask for and receive what we need. We spend our energy in circular patterns that keep us stuck in the rut we so much long to exit. And then one day we feel ready to go deep, to look at the dark, to face the things that keep us living in ways that don't feel aligned with who we know in our gut and heart to be. We feel ready to explore, be curious, listen, and learn to allow ourselves to emerge.

Are you struggling with navigating a relationship in your life? Relational therapy, typically called couples but can include a variety of relationship types, focuses in on communication, trust, repair, and joy. Typical sessions include allowing space for identifying specific sources of discomfort and practice for how to make and sustain relational shifts. Specialized training in child psychology allows for particular support around navigating parenting challenges and understanding how to support your unique child.

Change is stressful, even when it comes with joy or success, or when you’ve worked toward it for a long time. It’s natural to have lots of emotions or even doubts arise in times of transition.

For over 20 years I’ve been helping people navigate life transitions. I meet each client where they are, to help them grow and develop in ways that help them through challenging times.
