In my nearly 20 years as a psychologist it has become clear to me that entering into therapy takes courage. It takes courage to look at one's struggles and go near painful aspects of life. It takes courage to make changes; in the way we see ourselves, our relationships and our future. As a therapist, I see my role as not the agent of change, but as someone who 'walks with' the person who is courageously ready to change. I enjoy working at changes in individuals and couples as well as families.
Healing requires a safe place to explore deeper emotions, including sadness, fear, and anger. I have experience helping a wide-range of persons from children, teens, adults and older adults. Areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, behavioral issues in children/teens and relationship issues in couples/families.
I have received specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)for couples, which has been shown quite effective in helping couples in marital distress. In just a few sessions couples learn about their negative cycle and learn to share more openly and softly with each other from an emotional level.
