Effective therapy offers a unique relationship with a non-judgmental, highly-skilled professional who can help you safely explore the reasons for your distress. I believe that everyone has the right and the potential to be happy and act in their own best interest.

BUT there is one thing we do have control over - our relationship with ourselves.
For over 30 years I have enjoyed working with individuals, couples and families. I believe in using methods that are grounded in theory and research. My goal is to help people help themselves. I view people as resourceful. My role is to facilitate them in accessing and expressing their thoughts and feelings. Self-awareness enables people to access their own resources, allowing them to live the life they want to live. I see myself as a resource for people who want confidential help to deal with personal issues and I strive hard to deliver effective productive service in a timely manner.

My therapy style combines Adlerian therapy, mindfulness, EMDR and Lifespan Integration, and I primarily use the Gottman Method for couples.
Do you struggle with anxiety, high stress or want more satisfying relationships? You might have noticed that the "roadmap of life" doesn't really apply these days, so you're navigating uncharted territory with your own compass and notebook. Personal strategies to manage stress, mood and relationship conflicts work well enough until they don't, which can pile on the stress... If you struggle with people pleasing, boundaries, communication, perfectionism or assertiveness and you want to build confidence, you're not alone.
