Most people that enter therapy are stuck...whether it's in relationship conflicts, depressive cycles or life ruts. What helps to get 'unstuck' is a different view and new interactions. I believe all people and situations can change if you want them too. I work well with motivated and dedicated people and help you to find new solutions to your daily problems and conflicts. I am a very interactive, directive, and coaching based therapist who believes that without the skills necessary, the problems interactions will remain the same.

My goal in working with clients for the last 20 years has been to improve the social and emotional well-being of people who experience life-disrupting challenges. Helping people heal through self-awareness, resolving conflicts, strengthening relationships, and finding peace are all part of that journey.

Do any of these behaviors apply to your relationship? We seldom have any sex or intimacy. We only talk about the kids or work, just daily stuff, nothing important. I feel lonely in this marriage. If it weren't for the kids we would be done. Sometimes I think about having an affair, I never thought that would be me. I love my partner but I just don't feel like I am In Love with him/her. I think marriage can get boring, It's just we can't communicate. We either don't talk or we argue.

My areas of specialization include adoption, anger management, antisocial personality, anxiety, behavioral issues, bipolar disorder, codependency, depression, divorce, domestic abuse, domestic violence, dual diagnosis, emotional disturbance, family conflict, grief, life transitions, marital and premarital, oppositional defiance, parenting, peer relationships, relationship issues, school issues, sex therapy, suicidal ideation and trauma and PTSD. I focus on a wide range of clients including adults, teenagers, preteenagers, and children. I use several therapeutic modalities/approaches.

I believe life is about honoring our values, connecting deeply with others, and choosing our own paths. Many of my clients wrestle with complex issues in their relationships, such as religion, sexuality, and parenting. I support them in learning to disagree, negotiate, and deal with conflict confidently and sensitively. A number of my clients are highly-sensitive and benefit from practicing assertiveness, distress-tolerance, and self-soothing techniques.

I have spent most of my time in the social work field working with children in the foster care system. I have seen the highs and the lows that come from those children in foster care and broken homes. I have worked hard to do all I can to help them feel safe in secure in their living environments. I enjoy working with both children and their parents to heal and become a better family unit. I also have experience in working with those who are on hospice and nearing the end of life, and helping families through the grieving process.

I deeply appreciate being able to be a part of the lives of so many amazing people. To work side by side with individuals during the sensitive and vulnerable process of healing is a gift. Within all of us, there is a natural human ability to heal, and we gain confidence when we have access to the right tools that help us to integrate feelings, emotions, experiences, and relationships into something meaningful. I'm a huge fan of tailoring methods and tools to fit individual needs.
