I am an experienced therapist working with individuals and coupl for over 20 years. During this time I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and couples. My clients begin therapy as a means of overcoming obstacles or issues that prevent them from moving forward toward the individual goals they have set for themselves, whatever they may be. I help them assess and explore clear and realistic goals. I developed my early expertise working with adolescents with social, emotional, family or school issues. Since my early practice and training, I have gone on to also develop expertise in individual, couple and family counseling.

The group is generally composed of family members of a drug abuser (active or in recovery). It is also open friends, co-workers, etc. This is a psychoeducational group--covering information around drugs themselves (types, dosage, dependence and abuse, psychosocial aspects, interventions, withdrawal and recovery stages). It also covers family dynamics, family systems and intergenerational history. Additionally the group provides members with strong support and validation for their experiences in the context of drug abuse and family. Finally, the group members create a safe environment in which to see the issues clearly and work to resolve them with concrete action steps.

The teenage years are challenging for teens and their parents. Teens face many new pressures and may not always react in the healthiest ways to the problems they encounter. In some cases, teens may need counseling to help them cope with their problems. Some of the struggles teens face are a normal part of growing up, like dealing with peer groups, experimenting with new ideas, and going through changes in mood, identity, and interests. Support groups help teens through some of these issues by providing a safe setting to express themselves, and creating an environment that is structured and supportive.

For someone who is struggling to understand what is happening internally (thoughts, feelings, sensations, and impulses) while also working to accept a current situation, it can be exhausting both mentally and emotionally. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills can empower an individual to learn strategies to become mindful, accept and tolerate difficult circumstances, and learn to analyze problems or destructive behavior patterns while replacing them with more healthy ones.
The group includes parents as well as other caregivers of children ages 4-18. There is a strong psychoeducational component. Parents are taught what the basic needs of children are (secure attachment, autonomy, identity, relationship building) and what may happen if these are not met. Depending on their age, children will misbehave in different ways--all in an effort to direct attention to their unmet needs. Parents will understand the logic behind their children's apparent misbehavior. The group will also provide a forum for exploring what works to improve not only children's development but also their relationship with parents.

My goal is to help you overcome challenges, promote personal growth, and build a more fulfilling life.

Have you been in individual therapy for years but haven't gotten the results you expected? Despite your hard work, your therapist may not have the full picture. They only know what you tell them, yet we all have blindspots in our self-knowledge. Many people don't realize the missteps they make in relationships that contribute to their unhappiness. But in group therapy, the therapist observes you interacting with group members, helps you clarify your blindspots, and empowers you to improve your relationships. While we can't control others, we can increase our self-awareness and learn new skills.

We believe that family involvement is integral and necessary for the successful recovery of our clients. A person exists within a family and should be treated within the context of the family.
