I work with individuals, couples and families.
My primary goal is to help you take control of your life. I have been in practice for more than 25 years & I would love to help you build healthier relationships, repair broken ones, improve communication and intimacy. I have experience helping clients handle stress and heal from trauma. Research shows that much unhappiness, many symptoms of depression and anxiety (along with resentment and anger) can be reduced or alleviated. By understanding our past and acquiring effective skills we CAN change our life. We can't change our history or others. We can change how we see life, take control of our life and find peace and happiness.

Also trained in one of the most effective treatments for couples, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy.
Intimate relationships are hard! Sometimes we feel disconnected and confused and no matter how hard we try, those feelings just don't go away. At times it becomes difficult to trust without becoming overwhelmed with anxiety. You wonder if s/he is cheating or planning on leaving, though you have no evidence of either. Maybe you feel s/he is too consumed by other areas in their life and have forgotten about you, which has you feeling lonely and questioning the relationship.

I specialize in treating adult individuals and couples in relationships for addiction/co-addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, compulsive disorders and adults molested as children.
Many of us, as individuals and in relationships, have become stuck in patterns that make us feel like our life is just not working and we don't know why. Through use of a safe, supportive therapeutic environment, we find ways together to create a life that makes sense and functions with satisfaction and freedom.
My hope for every individual or couple that I work with, is that the development of a stronger and freer sense of self will result in a wider range of choices that will lead to a more meaningful and fulfilling life and more satisfying relationships.
