******Currently not accepting new clients******* Are you frustrated with your relationship with your adolescent? Is your adolescent frustrated with you? Parenting is difficult as is being a developing child. You are not alone in these experiences. Family life is often difficult, especially when cell phones, friends, social media, and video games are competing for your adolescent’s attention. The demands of school, sports, mood swings, and chores also contribute to this stress.

Each of us is unique. We all come from different backgrounds and cultures. People suffer in different ways and pain can manifest itself through our mental health in various forms such as depression, anxiety, and a myriad of physical and health problems. My goal is to help you make positive changes in your life in order to become the person you aspire to be. I believe no matter how challenging the process, we need to be content and be our authentic selves. In order to do this, we need to explore our struggles and gain insight and make positive change in our lives.

Do your efforts to get close to your partner end in fights--or distance? I use EFT, Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples, to help you transform your destructive couple patterns into a safe, secure and loving bond. EFT gets to the root causes of conflict and disconnection, counteracts blame and guilt, and creates a sound foundation for a lifetime of growth in intimacy. Results have been clinically shown to be extremely effective and to continue improving after treatment ends. I also use AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) for individuals to create a new experience of secure attachment.

Psychotherapy can offer a process to better understand the relationship between our thoughts, feelings (emotions and physiology), and behaviors. I work with people from all walks of life and specialize in treating anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma, career/identity issues, and adjustment difficulties related to life transitions and illness. Some of my therapeutic goals include helping clients manage symptoms of distress with healthier coping, improving relationships (with self and others), and exploring the ways in which current problems may be linked to unresolved issues from the past.

Are you ready to change your life and not sure how to start? Would you like to learn how to break patterns that leave you feeling anxious, angry, or depressed? I welcome the opportunity to guide you through an understanding of triggers and patterns that keep you from fully connecting with yourself and others.

I use a variety of therapeutic approaches to help people heal, gain greater self-awareness, and learn practical tools for improving their lives.

At times in life we experience suffering and struggle. Therapists can help navigate the complexities of life, our patterns, struggles, and pains. I can help clients find balance and relief as well as a sense of hope and purpose in life. For thirty-five years I've helped many find their curious and awake mind, and the wisdom of the body experience. The process of unraveling struggle, reprocessing trauma, learning skills, and awakening is a beautiful life-affirming one. I use ancient traditions such as mindfulness, and current findings to help my clients find their vitality, awareness, and well-being.

Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you (as a result of what happens to you). -Dr. Gabor Mate.
