We all have difficult phases in life, which I believe are just that, phases. Relationship challenges, life transitions including being an empty nester can be hard. Solution focused therapy empowers you to evolve into your biggest support. I am experienced with people from all walks of life, belief systems and sexual orientation/lifestyles. I truly belief we are not defined by the way we are in the current habit of living. While change is hard, it is possible and you don’t have to live with obsessive thoughts and actions, debilitating depression, paralyzing anxiety or being chained to substances in order to function.

I am looking forward to meeting you and developing a therapeutic relationship built on trust and empathy.
My main concern is for my clients to feel comfortable in a relaxed and non-judgemental environment. I have over 25 years of experience working with clients (Teens/Adults). I have worked mainly in medical and school settings. After a loss, difficult life event or devastating medical diagnosis, there needs to be a time of healing. You may feel anxious and having difficulty functioning at work or school. You may notice people around you may not understand what you are experiencing. This can be a scary time and you may feel psychologically alone. You may want someone who understands to guide you through this difficult journey.

My practice is structured to provide a very specialized, patient-focused service with maximum scheduling flexibility, 24/7 communication, and a highly collaborative patient-therapist relationship.
My one goal is to help you live an authentically joyful and fulfilling life. Anxiety and depression might be reasons for considering therapy but we often ignore or fail to recognize experiences of trauma. Unresolved trauma results in emotions and bodily feelings that keep you "stuck" in your life. Personal tragedies can cause trauma but trauma is also the cumulative result of every day stressors, such as COVID, relationship issues, employment, FOMO, and social media use. As a result, we may then experience negative emotional states that cause us to get pulled into unproductive and even harmful relationships and social situations.

Sometimes life can be challenging and the experience we are going through seems like it may never end. Whether individual, married, divorced, or trying to co-parent, we may feel lost, stuck, or confused. Anxiety, depression, or maladaptive coping patterns emerge, only to make the situation worse. Imagine having coping skills that leave you feeling revived and produce positive outcomes, while enhancing your relationship with self and others. As a co-parent counselor I deliver an unbiased perspective to help solve disputes and find solutions based on communication and cooperation.

I can help you address the issues of early childhood (feeding, sleeping, tantrums, bonding difficulties, power struggles, socializing, concentration) so you and your child can have the relationship you want.
Does your child seems to have more tantrums and more fears than other young children their age? Or the teacher has shared that your preschooler or kindergartener seems to be struggling and not making friends? Maybe your child has gone through something scary, and now you can't leave the room without them clinging to you. Perhaps you have welcomed a baby to the family, and bonding has been challenging. Or the relationship between you and your child is not what you had imagined it would be, and you seem to always end up in a power struggle. Or you'd like to work on the relationship with your autistic child.
