20 years experience has allowed me to specialize in working with sexual abuse survivors, adolescents finding their unique path in life, individual & family systems, co-parenting sessions, Guardian ad Litem, and therapeutic interventions helping individuals find out 'who they are' and their most productive mode of function .
At some time in our life we all struggle with some sort of adversity. I believe we are not judged by adversity but how we handle it. Asking for help is not always easy but it is a sign of strength. Therapy is a process of self discovery that enables you to recognize unhealthy patterns of behavior and learn effective coping strategies for optimal health and well-being. Life happens to each of us and much of life is out of our control - but how we respond to life's events is completely within our control.

Do you find yourself stuck? Do you feel invisible in your relationships? Do you feel as though you lost yourself somewhere along the way? This can be a very lonely and painful experience, especially when you feel like you are pouring yourself out for your people and no one is available to you. Many people have learned to assume the role of giver/provider in their lives and that often leads to feeling resentment, frustration, and overwhelm. Therapy can help you break through the barriers that prevent you from relational satisfaction and personal wellness.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
