Are you having the same conflict over and over again with your partner, adolescent daughter, parent, friend, or boss? Are you feeling ambivalent about having a child or do you already have a child and feeling stuck with your parenting skills? Are you and your partner struggling with infertility issues? Are you feeling depressed, anxious, or wanting to revamp your life? If any of these questions resonate with you then I may be able to help you. I have successfully worked with people dealing with similar life challenges; I hope to have the chance to work with you too.
I have a special interest in working with people that are facing life transitions: becoming a parent, getting married/divorced, changing jobs, moving, going back to school, infertility, traumas, grief, infidelity, impact of addictions, depression, and anxiety on your life and those around you. I am a clinical supervisor for interns and licensed professionals.
I believe that the relationship between the client and therapist is primary and that it is both of our jobs to be authentic in our work together. This can be challenging but often times a real catalyst for change, which is what therapy is all about. Early morning appointments and Saturday appointments offered.
