I enjoy working with individuals, couples, groups and families. My treatment approach is to provide support and insight to help clients address current life challenges and long standing issues. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as a primary intervention and skills training for those clients seeking solutions for issues related to emotional regulation, interpersonal communication breakdowns, and difficulties in managing stress and personal balance.

The main reason why couples seek counseling is due to a communication breakdown that begins to dismantle an otherwise healthy relationship. Our primary need is to be understood, but if partners are using different modes of communication, there can be a disconnect. DT can provide the jump-start to help find the excitement and communication that couples experienced at the beginning of a relationship, and the common ground that can build a stronger place from which to build trust. In learning more about the roles we play, DT offers partners the opportunity to gain greater insight about themselves and about their problems in relationships.

In my office I provide a compassionate and caring listening environment. We work together so that healing and growth can take place at your own rate, and from your own starting place, the place in which you feel safe and comfortable. I treat each client as a person, not as a diagnosis. I have been in practice for 20 years and have worked with men and women who have experienced many difficult issues, including partner abuse, grief and loss and life transitions. The difficult job of facing change is central to healing. I feel that one of the most important factors in growing is to grieve the past to live fully in the present.

Well-being may seem like a fantasy. The reality is everyone experiences struggles and pain that feel insurmountable. Well-being and peace may feel far away. Therapy isn't a magic wand, but it offers a path towards well-being, a way we can unravel where we're stuck and identify blind spots hindering us. As an individual, within a relationship, or amidst a family, we can become very tangled in our thoughts and circumstances. Sometimes it becomes hard to see that we have options and new possibilities. My goal is to support each client to reach this well-being.

How does therapy work anyway? The primary goal of therapy is to develop a better understanding of yourself. I am a non-traditional therapist who provides direct feedback to you about the ways in which you may sabatage yourself and your relationships. You deserve to know how other people perceive you. In our conversations I will observe how you relate to the people in your life, and what you do to connect successfully, or push others away inadvertently. Are you frequently stuck in your head, unable to be present for conversations? There can be many reasons for your feelings of isolation and disconnection. Let's figure it out!
