I specialize in helping couples, families, and children. As human beings, we have a need to feel connected to a significant other who becomes like a safe haven and a source of security and comfort. This person helps us to face the world with confidence because we know there is someone who cares about us. When we feel disconnected from our attachment figure, we feel unprotected and life's challenges seem to be bigger and scarier. I help people to feel secure in their relationship by strengthening their bond so that they become responsive, accessible and emotionally engaged to their partners.

My goal is to create a safe environment for you to explore your personal needs.

Are you in pain, struggling with recent events or old patterns and you can't seem to get a handle on things? One minute, you are on the verge of tears. The next, you are out of control, or checking out to escape the wounds from the past, the stress of life, or the endless demands of other people. It spills over into pretty much everything. You ask God for help, are wornout from trying so hard and feel disconnected. What if instead of turmoil and exhaustion, you could feel lighter, a calm confidence, and a new sense of peace and freedom? It is possible and I can help.

Are you struggling with substances but feel “rehab” isn’t right for you? You don’t need to leave your job or family for a month to find the help you need. Addiction is tough: that compulsion to go back and do the same thing over and over, even though you know it's destroying your life... You feel fear, anxiety, failure, worthlessness, humiliation, contempt... You've tried to break the 'habit', get your control back, but just when you start feeling some success you stumble, and you're back in the same hole again. Breaking your substance abuse alone is not as simple as it sounds. Counseling may be more effective for you than rehab.

Working with clients from all kinds of cultural and ethnic backgrounds is something I love doing. My first private practice was in Vienna, Ausria where I received referrals from the United Nations. My passion is in assisting with transformation. I custom-fit your sessions to what works best for you. When I experienced therapy as a client it involved much suffering; therefore I made a commitment to make therapy as comfortable, fun (laughter is a great healer) and as easy and efficient as possible. I think "out of the box" and work well intuitively.

You have felt different from others most of your life. You're tired of being constantly told that you are too sensitive or emotional. You feel too much. You require so much more alone time and downtime than most people. You believe in the good of others and that has sometimes caused you deep hurt in your relationships. It's exhausting and lonely being the person everyone goes to for advice and perspective. You're an old soul and you see the world differently. But the world seems so unkind to you in return.
