I am committed to providing couples who have decided to divorce a process that will allow them to transition with minimal residual damage to themselves or family.
I work with clients in the midst of difficult times, sorting through challenging situations and life transitions. Many clients come with concerns about a relationship, marital problems, family conflict, or because they are somewhere in the process of divorce. They are wanting a safe place to talk, objective listening, support, direction that will facilitate change, and a process forward. Divorcing couples that I see are looking for a gentler more thoughtful approach to divorce. One that encourages a workable ongoing coparenting relationship.

A therapist can be helpful in times of transition, or when it is time to put some deep thought into why you may be feeling stuck, in a bad relationship or depressed. Our world is a complicated place with external influences adding confusion to our choices. We may invest a great deal of time and money in many things, but we neglect our inner world. Yet our inner world affects all of our decision making. Therapy can help us discover our true, often neglected selves. I offer both psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. I am a graduate of the Dallas Psychoanalytic Center, Psychoanalytic training. I have additional training in alcoholism.

People begin therapy for various reasons. Commonly for self-development, the wish to improve confidence, grieving a loved one or the loss of a relationship. Other reasons could be experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, or life transitions. Or perhaps you struggle with the existential questions of life. Whatever, your reasons for treatment are unique to you. There is only one You. That also means your goals and needs are specific to your ongoing interpersonal growth. If you are ready to improve your life, gain clarity, and learn ways to manage your emotions then counseling is a positive step.

Over time, learning how to get curious and clear about what each of you are really saying requires each partner to tolerate differences and conflict healthily and empower the relationship and deepening intimacy.
We all claim to desire deeper intimacy and to "communicate better" with our partner, the reality is that we are all scared of what that intimacy may entail, at least on some level. The fear is that if we allow ourselves to be vulnerable with our partner, we may be swallowed whole, cave around our personal boundaries and choices, or experience the kind of hardship or betrayal we felt as children. Having a strong self is in fact the precondition for a deep intimacy and the "we" that you may so desperately want or wish you had back. Thus, learning to tolerate your differences is the key to satisfying relationships.

I help individuals, couples, and families explore the persistent thoughts that might be holding them back and the patterns that are showing up in their relationships.
You feel overwhelmed and burnt out by the world’s expectations. If you're honest, you feel lost and alone, and your relationships are suffering. You wish you were free from the lies you’ve been believing – the thing is, they don’t feel like lies anymore; they’ve become background noise and they feel so true. Whether it’s about who you are or how you're showing up in your relationships, there's a voice telling you that you're not good enough, not worth it, and don’t deserve to be happy. My work is focused on helping you grow in self-awareness, knowing your value, and uprooting destructive beliefs while replacing them with new truths.

Stormy and racing thoughts. Emotional pain. Old hurts. Worries about the future. Quick to anger or to run. Behavioral habits blocking the life you want. These are the kinds of life challenges that I specialize in working with using evidence-based methods to help you build the highest expression of YOUR life. YOU are the expert in your life. That being said, like mountain climbers on adjacent mountains, a therapist can help you see terrain on your mountain that you might not be able to see from your position on it. I particularly have specialized in areas around partner violence, anger/aggression, and trauma.

I work with individuals and couples to explore the patterns in life and relationships they are seeking to change.
You may be struggling with interpersonal conflict, sleep, productivity, loneliness, or insecurity in your relationships. These struggles act as an alarm, warning us that we have lost our balance. You want to connect with others and make meaningful changes but you may find yourself stuck in a cycle that keeps you feeling disconnected and unsatisfied. We exist within the context of relationships and you may be ready to change the context of your life and the patterns in your relationships. You don't have to continue struggling. Together we can explore your own behavioral and relational patterns to make the changes you are seeking.
