Change is possible! Anxious? Depressed? Just feel stuck? You don't have to continue to live this way. Be more present with the people you care about. Be calm and focused at work. Enjoy life again and live it the way you want to!

You’re here. Good work. You’re no longer avoiding or pushing down those thoughts and feelings that are telling you something isn't right. You’re listening to yourself. You're moving forward with your life, and are one step close to discovering a greater version of you. Let's keep this momentum going.

I have been in private practice for 34 years in the capacity of family therapist and clinical director at two residential facilities. I do not believe in long term therapy, and on occasion, clients will come back for a "tune-up." I am direct, I will give you feedback, (not tell you what to do) and be very supportive at the same time. Family therapists, believe that behaviors get passed down from generation to generation. We would explore your "family of origin" and sort out what behaviors are working for you and what needs to change. If YOU do the work, You WILL get better!
