My primary goal is to help you take control of your life. I have been in practice for more than 25 years & I would love to help you build healthier relationships, repair broken ones, improve communication and intimacy. I have experience helping clients handle stress and heal from trauma. Research shows that much unhappiness, many symptoms of depression and anxiety (along with resentment and anger) can be reduced or alleviated. By understanding our past and acquiring effective skills we CAN change our life. We can't change our history or others. We can change how we see life, take control of our life and find peace and happiness.
I utilize a brief therapy model focusing on empowering individuals to take control of their lives. I have extensive knowledge and experience working in many mental, social and emotional health related areas. I also work at a university which helps me stay current regarding research and best practices. I love what I do.
I work with individuals, couples and families. If you're interested in improving your relationships, feeling better and working with a therapist who genuinely cares for her clients, call today. Therapy need not be a threatening experience. It can be a process that helps us live more productively resulting in healthier relationships.
