Have you wondered what your life could be like if you were kinder to yourself, accepting of yourself, and knew your own value? Do you need to be seen and heard, and to feel like someone is on your side? You might be struggling with the debilitating anxiety, family and
relationship
conflicts, codependency, and depression that complex trauma can bring. You might come from a long line of family traumas. Maybe you are going through a breakup and are having a hard time finding your voice again. You may feel an emptiness and you don't know why.

"When there's hope, there's a way"... I am an award winning author, international lecturer, consultant, and therapist for individual,
couples
, families, and children/adolescents, with a warm, non-judgmental and collaborative style. If your life is not as satisfying as it could be, and you have that secret wish things could be different, it may be worth trying to talk about it; sometimes a single meeting can make a difference and reconnect you with inner peace, fresh ideas, or a clearer, empowering direction.

The still going on Pandemic makes us all more vulnerable to anxiety, anger and depression. And these unresolved emotions will make any
relationship
even harder. Without the support of a caring and skilled therapist coping can become overwhelming and paralyzing. I specialize in anger management, depression and anxiety which most of time arises from couple
relationship
. In fact I have done many couple therapy. I treat each client with respect and appreciation and consider it a privilege to know and help every client who finds me.

Welcome, and congratulations! Finding the right therapist is a big step. If you'd like to understand how your mind causes you mischief--anxiety, stress, depression, anger, addictions, or
relationship
problems--I can help you to pursue these goals. I have many years of experience in mindfulness meditation and practice, and a thorough understanding of how our thoughts, stories, and assumptions result in increased stress or increased happiness. I also make good use of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy in helping adults and teens with sexual abuse or addiction issues. Clients tell me that I am "an easy person to talk to."

Life happens. Everything is running smoothly in our lives and then something occurs that throws us off balance: a
relationship
breakup, the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, divorce, or a trauma. Instead of a single event, it can also be the buildup of stress or the accumulation of various events that have occurred. Sometimes we just want to learn more about ourselves. It can even be a wound from our past from which we have difficulty healing. All of us experience obstacles in our lives that can become overwhelming.

and how easy it is! After all, it's our working
relationship
that allows change and growth to occur, not the comfort of my office.
***Online Therapy Available*** Life may be difficult... but when we accept this reality, our lives can change dramatically for the better. Our fear, sadness, and anger are often what keep us from facing the vital facts of our lives that need to be addressed to create the changes we want most. Fortunately, the more effective you become at soothing yourself, the more courageous you become. This is because it is often overwhelming pain and trauma that paralyzes us or leads us to mindlessly react in ways that sabotage our peace and happiness. I can teach you how to calm yourself and effectively solve the problems you face.

My work draws from many years of helping adults, families, children, and
couples
in clinics, schools, and community settings.
I help children, teens, and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and difficulties having the skills to live a meaningful life. Through therapy, you’ll navigate difficult situations, gain confidence, and express yourself authentically. Many people have been trying to work through low motivation, worry, and stress on their own. You can see therapy as a catalyst for growth as well, improving your ability to build insights, reach your goals, and jump levels.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
