My clients would likely say I am down-to-earth and open-minded. 20 years of experience have taught me that respectful understanding is key in working with clients who seek to understand/explore their circumstances, proactively engage in their lives, and - simply put - feel better. My main area of work has been supporting adolescents and adults with emotional difficulties, traumatic events, decision-making, and coping skills for life transitions (school, career, "adulting”). I work in tandem with clients as they identify their challenges, needs, and goals. My approach while kind and interactive encourages self-reliance.

Have you been feeling stressed or just unhappy in your relationship? Because you don't feel the kindness or friendliness you both had before? You might come up with arguments and yelling before starting a topic that you know is a serious problem in your relationship. Such as the affair, talking about starting a family, financial topics, and also love and intimacy. It can be very frustrating if you feel like you're not making progress in your relationship. But come work with me individually to get the stress out, or work together as a couple to see me. I can help you both identity the problem and great goals and the love map together

People come for psychotherapy when they are hurting or feeling stuck in unproductive thinking and behavior. This can manifest in depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, issues with career and work performance and self deprecating behaviors. Loss, grief and illnesses can be hard to bear and cause feelings of aloneness. What is often needed is a safe environment for the cultivation of acceptance and compassion and the willingness to wisely explore in a trusting relationship. Developing space to have a new understanding of difficulties can open to greater awareness, sense of possibility and the capacity to live more fully.

Couples' sessions for parenting couples ready to improve their relationship, communication, and overall dynamics as they navigate and deal with the stressors of everyday life. I work best with motivated couples who are ready to learn and practice some new skills so that they can create a smoother, healthier and balanced relationship -the foundation of home and life - allowing them to be a good example to their kids, as well as perform better at work. It can be hard to make time to talk about the relationship, and investing in time just for that can make a major difference!

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.
