As an experienced clinician, I am honored and happy to assist you and your loved ones on your path toward greater life satisfaction and peace of mind. I specialize in individual work with women and teenage girls, family and couples counseling, separation and divorce issues, trauma/abuse recovery and addiction recovery. I love to help children and adolescents express their feelings in a warm and relaxed environment in a garden setting. Addressing mood struggles as well as life challenges and transitions, my work is solution-focused, interactive and goal-oriented.
A period of supportive counseling can help all of us to express feelings, sort through the issues, gain skills and find practical solutions. Using cognitive/behavioral tools, meditation & visualization and EMDR in a brief and efficient format, we will help you rediscover your innate wisdom and ability to enjoy life.
Areas in which I particularly specialize are:
*couples therapy;
*addiction recovery;
*individual depression and/or anxiety;
*adolescent counseling;
*sexual/relationship issues;
*separation/divorce/co-parenting and
*life transitions and identity discovery.
