The issues which I enjoy working with the most are those related to relationships and family dynamics. One of the areas of most interest to me is working with individuals who are coming out of a relationship with a partner who had narcissistic personality traits. I became licensed as a marriage and family therapist in 1998 and have worked as a family therapist in substance abuse treatment programs, residential treatment programs for children and adolescents, and residential treatment programs for women. I also work with many individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and trauma.

I believe that the relationship between the therapist and client is fundamental in that it provides a safe and supportive framework for the individual to grow, explore, develop and heal. I have been in the mental health/wellness field since 1985 and in private practice since 1998. I have worked with a richly diverse group of individuals dealing with life in all of its complexities. I have felt honored throughout this time to walk along side the courageous individuals that have invited me to share in their journey.

At times, we all develop ineffective patterns of behavior, some of which are unconscious & keep us from solving problems & being the best we can be. I believe emotional flexibility is the key to a happier, healthier more complete life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing Psychotherapy since 1997. My specialties include: family & couples therapy, individuals of all ages), grief & loss, depression, anxiety & personal growth. I use a variety of theories & techniques looking for the right fit for you. My goal is to help you resolve whatever difficulties are keeping you from living a more authentic, joyful & fulfilled life

My counseling approach utilizes systems theory to identify problems within the context of the system where they began.. Instead of seeing problems residing within the individual, I look at how the entire system contributes to the problem formation. The system generates the problem and the two are maintained by each other, and behavior is understood in the context of its' environment. Together in a caring and respectful environment, we will discover together your goal for the best version of your future going forward. Life coaching is an integral aspect of my treatment protocol.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the struggles in your life? Are their relationship problems, difficult life changes, or challenges that have left you wondering which way to turn? Have you felt sad, discouraged, guilty or afraid for a long time? Perhaps it's time to address the emotional hurts in your life to become the person you would like to be.

With 25 years in clinical practice, I am a firm believer in the effectiveness of psychotherapy to improve self confidence and self esteem, to develop more fulfilling relationships and to set one's life course in a positive direction for the future. I try to not only help my clients find relief from bothersome symptoms but also to help get to the root of the problem that has brought them into therapy. In this way the therapy has a deeper and longer-lasting effect as clients learn how to free themselves from problematic patterns from the past and live more fully in the present.

I have a passion for working with adults in big or small life transitions and emerging adults staring their adult lives! I have a trauma focused practice. I work with those who seek treatment for life experiences such as: anxiety, depression, sexual, physical, or emotional abuse, social isolation, teen friendships/bullying/dating, teen parenting, teen pregnancy counseling and support, low energy, stress, panic attacks, a traumatic event or other stressors, self sufficiency development, divorce, low self esteem, ADD/ADHD, mood dysregulation, oppositional or angry behaviors, and relational and attachment issues. EMDR Certified and CIT

I have become very interested in the brain's functioning powers and how people can learn to re-wire neural networks, using strategies that can calm, relax, heighten a sense of personal control, diminish the power of old patterns, and strengthen healthy neural pathways. Research now shows that talking about what is causing tension, stress, or discomfort for you is good for your brain. It is good to find a therapist, a trusted friend or clergy worker to confide in and improve your life. I work with children of all ages, adult individuals, and couples and families who are having difficulties.

I use the Family Systems theory approach while identifying family of origin roles and patterns. Using a cognitive behavioral approach in helping clients identify thinking patterns that impact self-esteem and the choices one makes, I can guide you to new thought patterns that will raise the quality level of your life in many ways. Mood disorder therapy, including Bipolar Disorder and Major Depression, is a vital instrument for those affected. Medication assessment and management referral resources are available to compliment psychotherapy. Think in new ways, feel new emotions, live with a new view of you and your world.

Psychotherapy can help you to transform your life! In a safe and supportive therapeutic environment, you'll learn how to break old patterns that keep you stuck, so that you can experience happiness, joy, and success in your life. By addressing the emotional issues that keep you from having a healthy relationship with yourself and others, you will develop self-acceptance, self-love and positive self-esteem. With consistent encouragement and support, you can overcome your problems, and heal emotionally inside so that you can reach your personal goals.
