I can help you age in peace! Having reached senior age myself it is time for me to concentrate on the issues that meet us as seniors. We all experience grief and health issues that are both emotionally and practically hard to handle without support. Conflict between generations are common. Some are emotional issues. Some can be triggered wills, health directives, powers of attorney, naming of estate executors. With my background in both family therapy and family law I am uniquely qualified to resolve and prevent these kinds of family conflicts. I don’t give legal advise, but I can point out things you should discuss with a lawyer.

In any psychotherapy the relationship between the client and their therapist is of paramount importance. With that in mind, I prioritize getting to know each person that I work with in a meaningful way as we engage in the process of symptom reduction. I pride myself on being able to build comfortable discussion with adults, adolescents, and children and tailor communication to best fit each developmental stage. When working with families I ensure that each family members' concern is heard and work to join with each member while remaining focused on addressing the issue which brought them to treatment.
