As a psychotherapist, marital and family therapist practicing for over 25 years, my goal is to work with individuals, couples or families, no matter how challenging the issues. Many people come seeking help for the first time, while others have been unsuccessful in other therapies, often for long periods of time. Some are very clear about what they want help with and some are ambivalent and need to define what it is they hope will change.

I work with individuals, couples and families seeking change. You may be challenged by anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, difficulties in relationships or the stressors of life transitions, such as divorce or changes in your career. Like all transitions, moving through stages of adolescence, into college and onto adulthood can bring stress, uncertainty and confusion but also tremendous growth. Our work together will seek to promote self-awareness and desired change.

Perhaps, the two of you simply can't communicate, or you have just had a useless fight. You may have even thought of divorce. You know you don't want that.

Imagine having the tools resolve fights before they end up in the kitchen sink or the attack-blame dance. You want to feel your partner respects you.and will have your back. Regain the freedom to laugh.
