Life is a dynamic and ever moving process. As humans, we are constantly driven towards growth and potential, while simultaneously towards defending ourselves from the suffering and pain that so often affect our lives. Psychotherapy offers the possibility of enhancing awareness and understanding of oneself, ones experience of the world, and ones unique style of managing life's challenges. Through the process of effective psychotherapy people often move beyond the removal of problems or symptoms towards acceptance and awareness of self, and further towards actualization of personal potential.

My particular interest and expertise is in challenges faced by couples: cultural differences, issues of step-families, aftermath of infidelity, fertility issues, serious illness or loss in the family, low-sex and no-sex couples, raising adolescents - and empty nest issues... Another area of work is dealing with the dissolution of the relationship - how to say good-bye with dignity, and how to mend a broken heart and renew your spirit, and your joy of life. And of course, if there are children involved, our focus would be on protecting them from the aftermath of the divorce as much as possible.

Psychotherapy is a shared process that requires thoughtful dialog and trust. Successful therapy creates healthy lifestyle changes and fosters physical, emotional, cognitive, relational, spiritual, and financial wellbeing. I will take the time to understand your experience and practice accordingly. I believe the best person to determine whether therapy is working is you. By creating a safe and genuine relationship, we can develop focused goals and strategies that support growth, healing, and inner peace.

I think therapy is a process, a journey. It's important to have a comfortable traveling companion, one who listens carefully without judgment and with whom you feel safe and nurtured as you explore those issues that are keeping you from being your whole, authentic, and joyful self. I work with individuals, couples and families who are seeking growth and connection in both their inner lives and in relationships. I have extensive experience treating sexual abuse, loss, depression, anxiety, and trauma.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, my goal is to assist you in uncovering your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I am very experienced working with adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and/or relational problems. I believe in treating the whole person and will take the time to get to know you and the challenges you are experiencing in order to better help you. I also have extensive experience working with children and adolescents who are displaying emotional and behavioral problems in the school and/or home setting.

When life gets too heavy, it can seem like no amount of support will help. But, that's exactly when the right kind of help can make the difference. Whether you're facing depression, anxiety, substance abuse, bereavement, or a difficult transition, I believe you have the power to change within. While working with me, you'll have a supportive and safe environment to share your stories and your experiences in a supportive, non-judgmental space. I have extensive experience working with children and adults, including military families and families with extraordinary children diagnosed with autism.
