I specialize in working with couples, parenting, parents with special needs children, young adults and grandparents. Family conflict, divorce, blended families who are undergoing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, academic, and relational issues need support and tools. Retirement, aging, caring for aging parents, caring for ill-loved ones, coping with life threatening illness and grief and loss are also important issues impacting life and family. Therapy can bring understanding, increase communication and create healthy relationships, life transitions and families.
I have worked 20 years in the healing profession, in many capacities, and bring my clinical knowledge as well as a passion for the helping and healing of strong thriving individuals and families.
In my practice I work with adults, couples, teens, families, people suffering from loss,depression, anxiety, PTSD, life threatening illness, care taking aging parents, parents of children with special needs, divorce and retirement. My approach is actively supportive and confidential. I am a certified Clinical Supervisor for agencies and private practice.
