When looking for a therapist it's important you find someone your feel comfortable with. Therapy can be a safe place to share and explore feelings or issues that challenge most of us at one time or another. I use a strength-based, family systems approach in helping individuals, couples, adolescents, children, and their families to reduce stress, improve communication and relationships. My goal with all clients is to build on existing strengths, and help find realistic solutions to problems and help achieve their goals. I empower them to achieve the changes they are looking for, in a safe comfortable and non judgmental environment.
I have over 20 years experience working with children, parents, couples, individuals and families. I have extensive background working with individuals, families and couples going through transitions. ie: pre-marital, separation/divorce, grief/loss, suicide, school concerns, reconnecting with your partner, challenging teen years and parental guidance.
Connection is so important for me and for you! Feel free to reach out today and see if we would be a good fit! Looking forward to hearing from you and connecting soon!
