Are you experiencing frequent conflicts and arguments about the same things, but nothing ever seems to get resolved? Do you feel the harder you try to make things better, the worse it seems to get? When people feel they are underappreciated, misunderstood, or blamed for things that don't feel are their fault, people stop listening and can become stuck pointing fingers and assigning blame. No one is changing behaviors or focused on solutions. All you know is you feel stuck, scared and realize that your family relationships are in trouble and need help.

In therapy, I help individuals understand how past relationships with parents, siblings and significant others impacts relationship troubles in the here and now. A trusting therapeutic relationship offers an opportunity for exploration of one's own mind at the deepest level - healing, new pathways of relating, greater authenticity, vitality & living a life that's true to one's self.
