We specialize in Marriage and Family Therapy and treat couples and individuals. Marriage therapy focuses on the conflicts and disagreements between two people. All families experience some type of disagreement. Some families function in unhealthy patterns and therefore conflict exists. Families are affected when one member of the family is chronically ill, suffers from substance abuse, divorce and separation, single parenting, financial issues, etc, as well as a lack of communicating effectively. Family therapy may be the only setting where you will have the opportunity to hear how other family members are feeling.

I have 24 years experience in areas of anxiety, depression, coping skills, trauma, family dynamics, co-parenting, life transitions, grief and loss, self-esteem/identity and peer relationships. I balance empathetic listening and validation with a gentle nudge when it is time to do the work needed to make progress. Treatment will be tailored to your needs and may include Strength-Based, Solution-Focused, Attachment Based, and Mindful Practice modalities, among others. Mindfulness is not just telling clients to “take a deep breath”. It's more about learning coping strategies and making trauma-sensitive choices.

Since children and adolescents don't always share what's important in session, parental participation is required for a few minutes at each visit.
I bring intention, patience and hope into my work as a therapist and try my best to inspire you to do the same. I like for you to feel secure and comfortable when you come into my office; and empowered and satisfied when you leave. My sessions are free of judgments, and spent building a foundation where progress toward your goal(s) can be made. Regular day-to-day obligations can easily interfere with our best intentions. Identifying and expressing your goal(s) is the first step. I would embrace the opportunity to work with you.
