Everyday family life has ups and downs. Families may expect transitions and challenges adapting. Yet, there are times when individuals and families find they have become stuck, bogged down, exhausted, entangled with a particular issue or a lap full of complex circumstances and stressors. In my role as a therapist and human being, I look forward to working with individuals and families (all shapes, sizes, and combinations of relationships) in discovery, exploration, and use of their strengths and potentials to adapt, heal, grow, create and transform within and through what may seem impossible.

With all that has been going on in the world lately, it can be difficult to feel like we have our feet under us again. We may feel like it is more difficult to cope and not quite sure what steps we can take to get ourselves back on track and moving forward.

This influences every decision we make and how we meet every relationship and circumstance. I help people bring their thinking into alignment with what they want to create in their lives, and discover their capacity to do it.
