I enjoy working with people struggling with any type of relationship.

I help clients understand what their expectations are of their relationship and sex life, as well as what each couple can do to make the most of all aspects of their relationship. Whether your relationship needs a tune-up or a complete overhaul, I look forward to working with you.

I believe that a successful therapeutic relationship can become the catalyst to change, one interaction, one session at a time. Therapy sessions with me are targeted to provide security in the vulnerability required to do the deep and restorative work necessary to make positive change.

My background and experience in child psychology lends itself to insight into parenting as well as reflection upon family of origin as it manifests in the present.

I've been working with children since 1991, mostly at the elementary and preschool age level. In the 90's I developed a passion for play therapy and began my own training and experience.

An ideal client is one who is open to seeing that life can be different. In session I use systems theory and bring awareness to how the 'system' we are currently living in is creating more mental and internal strain which is disconnecting us from our authentic self.

I blend mindfulness based interventions with Accelerated Resolution Therapy, IFS, polyvagal theory, CBT, DBT, and attachment theory to help individuals find the solutions that exist inside themselves.
