Are you a child, adolescent or adult having difficulty functioning at work, school, or in relationships? Sometimes a history of trauma, self defeating and limiting belief systems interfere with our ability to love, work and play. I can help when old ways of adapting to stressors no longer work. Change is necessary at the mind, body and spiritual level for adaptation to occur. We will work together through your transformation. You can learn new ways to tolerate what has been overwhelming and you can develop new, healthier coping skills to help you manage what was formerly intolerable about daily living.

Life can feel overwhelming. Within a collaborative setting, we can explore ways to make life feel more manageable and, ultimately, more enjoyable. The quality of the therapeutic relationship itself has been shown to significantly influence treatment outcomes. My approach emphasizes authenticity and the idea that growth can happen while in a nourishing setting. I assist clients with developing sustainable coping strategies, uncovering patterns, and navigating relational dynamics. My goal is to help clients find realistic solutions within their unique circumstances.

FRUSTRATED with the SLOW PACE of others? Having difficulty COMMUNICATING with loved ones? Can't understand IRRATIONAL behavior by a partner or colleagues? Are you accused of being TOO INTENSE, COMPLEX or DRIVEN? These are all ways that intellectually gifted individuals may feel, without understanding what's causing it. Gifted individuals possess an intellectual complexity and emotional intensity that can lead them to experience life in ways qualitatively different from the norm. This can lead to challenges in COUPLES relationships or PROFESSIONAL settings. I have spent over 30 years working with gifted individuals, and am a CERTIFIED EFT COUPLES Therapist.

Therapy work is a process of self discovery that's both fulfilling and challenging. As a psychotherapist, my commitment is to provide you with a safe and creative context for an ongoing collaboration. Together, with compassion, persistence and humor, we'll work to identify and uncover self-sabotaging behaviors: the conditioned ways of being and outmoded ways of thinking that often manifest as confusion, self-doubt, fear, anger or anxiety.

THERAPY WORKS. IT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Will it work for you? It depends. Y'ever wonder why you're not where you want to be in your life - why things aren't turning out as planned? Image that changing. I have opinions and theories, and I'm willing to share them with you fairly early on. I'm not just going to watch you make the same mistakes over and over again without saying something to you. I won't make your decisions for you, but I will help you examine consequences and encourage you to make better choices.

It can be overwhelming to deal with the difficulties in daily life especially when we often discount some of our own struggles. My clients experience many of the same issues you feel: anxiety, depression, breakups, divorce, parenting, lack of motivation, and setting boundaries in important life relationships. Whether this is your first time in therapy or not, you deserve a therapist who is going to validate your feelings but also offer you solutions. I have over a decade of experience as a therapist and yet I still treat every client as a unique individual who deserves a unique approach.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* The fight you had last night was bad. Really bad. Your relationship is in trouble. Your marriage is unraveling. You know when you walk through the door, you’re going to have to finish having “that conversation.” The one you never finished last night because you both needed to “sleep on it.” The one that you know is just going to end with arguing, shouting, crying, and someone walking out of the door. The same argument you’ve been having for years. The one that keeps you awake thinking, "Marriage isn’t supposed to be like this. Other couples don’t fight this much right?"

With over 20 years of clinical experience, I work with individuals, couples and families struggling with a variety of issues at all stages of development. Stress, anxiety, depression, and grief can be difficult to manage for anyone, and can be exacerbated by life circumstances. Relationship issues and family stressors can also be precipitants for increased difficulties for individuals. Personalities and abilities differ-from athletes to artists- having unique needs. Parents dealing with children with ADHD, twice gifted, learning disorders, or autism face very specific interactional challenges, impacting all areas of their life.
