Over the past 17 years of providing Marriage, Family and Child therapy, I have been witness to some amazing transformations of healing and change.
"Let's finally stop just talking about your problems, and begin doing something about them." I've found that at the core of most of our troubles is deeper conflict between our Values and Actions. This inconsistency may have been caused by past experiences, traumatic events or a genetic predisposition. Regardless of the source of the problem, let's take a more active approach to feeling happier and healthier. Whether you are seeking help in your career, looking to improve your relationship, having problems with the kids or struggling with anxiety, let's get started. The time is now!

I believe that children experience life in many of the same ways as adults, however, unlike adults, children are not always capable of expressing their needs, thoughts & emotions clearly.
Has life become stressful and overwhelming? Are your family relationships being impacted? I believe this stress can wound the spirit and cause parents to be angry, children to be angry and act out and spouses to become resentful. I can help families and individuals communicate in ways that help to heal old wounds and restore a sense of hope. I work with your own internal strengths to support change and help you discover your unmet needs. I strongly believe in the power of self-exploration to create opportunities for positive life changes.

I have 20 years experience working with, children, adolescents, couples and adults in processing severe traumatic events.
There are times in our lives when we are challenged by circumstances that seem too great to navigate and bear alone. The corona virus is truly one of these times. I am offering tele-therapy through video or the phone to those who need extra support during these uncertain time. I am a trauma specialist and understand how addictions and other self-destructive behaviors mask pain. To interact with another person who can respond appropriately and share your concerns and emotional experiences can bring about meaningful life changes.

I work with a team of psychologists, testing specialists and a psychiatrist who treat children and adults with issues ranging from anxiety to dealing with changes in life (e.g. divorce, moving, loss). I see my role as a change agent to help clients have insight as to why they are suffering and what tools will help them become more self actualized. I have a casual and playful style when working with youth, so they don't realize they are in therapy. My goal is to disarm kids so they feel comfortable to share things.

With 30 years of experience working with families, children, individuals and couples, I help my clients regain their sense of hope, work from their inherent strengths, and use newly learned skills to resolve emotional, interpersonal, and behavioral challenges.
You have started the search for support and are now faced with choosing a therapist to begin the healing process. It is important to not only work with an experienced credentialed therapist, but one you feel empathy and care from. One size does not fit all as people's needs are different, and many times can change. For some, I am "the one who finally listens & doesn't judge", helping to unwind feelings of shame and faulty childhood criticisms, while helping to replace them with a realistic, constructive self-appraisal.
