Do you suffer with anxiety, depression, or problems communicating effectively with your partner or loved one? Feel easily frustrated or confused? Have problems handling or expressing your anger? These are some of the issues I enjoy helping clients to resolve in the comfort and privacy of therapy. My goal is to help you identify and overcome the unhealthy patterns of behavior that negatively impact your life. I can help you learn to replace negative behaviors with more effective coping and communication styles, and at the same time increase your self-esteem.
My specialty includes helping clients build healthier relationships by promoting skills to become better listeners and managers of their own anger and frustration. I offer help for individuals as well as couples and families including adjustment to major life changes. Ages range from 17 through late adulthood.
In addition to my private practice, I have over 30 years experience working in mental health clinics providing psychotherapy for clients with a wide range of problems.
