Navigating life is often challenging for teens & young adults. It is easy to feel lost and overwhelmed by the demands and expectations that are placed on them. However, with the right support this can be an incredibly interesting and exciting time in their lives! I have helped many youth and families find their way and even thrive during this period. Many teens struggle with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, anger-management, family conflict, and traumatic experiences. I focus on improving emotional well-being, enhancing communication with peers and family, and making good decisions regarding relationships and personal safety.

We work together to develop awareness, response-ability and the making of more satisfying choices. We may focus on relationships, conflicts, effective communication, boundary handling and adequate expression. Issues such as validation, power and control, trust and intimacy, anxiety, abandonment and loss are met as needed. We shift more deeply from who we thought we had to be to the integrity of what we are. We become more capable of handling feelings & behaviors within ourselves & with others.

It is said that the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Has your journey hit a detour or perhaps a fork-in-the-road? Often, life’s most challenging passages offer us opportunities to feel more alive, present and connected. At the same time, these passages can be difficult to navigate. When feelings of sadness, uncertainty or fear become overwhelming it is helpful to have someone who can help you find your way – to help you get back on your path and discover new possibilities and hope.

Today, I encourage you to consider an alternative future. One where you are at peace with yourself. Where the light and dark within you are both accepted unconditionally and you remember who you were before the beliefs that currently limit you were formed. I strive to help others separate themselves from their problems, including significant symptoms and behaviors. You HAVE a problem. YOU are not a Problem. For the last 15 years I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and their families. Ready to dive deep and make a change? Let's talk!

As you read these words, you may be having second thoughts about contacting a therapist. That is understandable. Even as we struggle with personal problems, or work to solve problems with a relationship, it's natural to have questions about reaching out for help. You may wonder whether you will feel comfortable with the person you call, and may be uncertain about how therapy can help.

I have specialized training and experience in couples therapy. If you are stuck in a painfully destructive relationship pattern, I can help you. I have worked with couples for over 35 years. EFT, Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, is by far the most effective way to work with relationship problems. EFT is one of the only empirically validated couples therapy approaches, and has been shown to out-perform all other modalities in follow-up studies, tracking couples after therapy has ended. EFT has dramatically increased my ability to help couples transform painful relationship patterns into deeply fulfilling and enduring bonds.
