Coping in today's intense, fast-paced culture can lead to a variety of malaises that include depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and substance abuse. Adults and couples often exhibit marriage and family discord, isolation and loneliness, work and financial difficulties, and unhealthy and destructive life-style choices; children and teens demonstrate emotional and behavioral self-regulation problems, deficient school performance, and poor friendship choices. I seek to find maladaptive patterns, and with client assistance, find remedies so individuals at any age can lead happy, healthy, productive, responsible, independent lives.

In the words of Dr Seuss, "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened!" Are you considering ending your marriage or a difficult relationship?

Talking with a caring professional in a warm and supportive environment can be an invaluable life experience. With over 20 years of experience working with individuals and families, I feel confident that I can help.
