Clients respond very positively to my style as a therapist --- informal, empathetic, challenging, encouraging, educational, and collaborative. Typical individual and couples clients include young adults, mid-age, and elders. My work with clients frequently blends individual and couples therapy. I specialize in using the DISCERNMENT COUNSELING framework with 'mixed agenda' couples and the ideas of John / Julie GOTTMAN when working with couples who are wanting to enhance their relationship and co--parenting quality.
Are CLARITY, HOPE, and SATISFACTION missing in your life ? I specialize in how ON-GOING CONFLICT, GRIEF / LOSS, ILLNESS, and DIVERSITY issues can lead to chronic frustration. I also work with 'mixed agendas' couples, confused about the future of their relationship --- one leaning in, the other leaning out --- determine what to do.
My counseling perspectives come from professional study as well as my own rich history of struggle / growth with life's challenges. Effective psychotherapy requires genuine rapport and honest dialogue to discover what works BEST for YOU. For 30+ years, I have helped people create more fulfilling lives --- let's talk ?
