Through extensive training with Virginia Satir, mother of family therapy, I learned, long ago, that all people come equipped with internal resources for growth. My goal: to help the people who come to me to become aware of those resources – to actualize their unique self. Often, this involves our ferreting out wrong information, gathered while growing up. Generally, this "dated" information is transmitted from parents who, themselves, did not know any better. My intent is to create safe contexts in which a person may discover their strengths while learning how to cope with their perceived "weakness."

Balancing work, family, and daily responsibilities can feel overwhelming, especially when you feel like so much depends on you. You may struggle with anxiety, stress, or low self-esteem, even though others see you as capable and dependable. You want relief from constant pressure and space to reconnect with yourself, not just the roles you carry.
