Do you ever feel sad or alone and can't figure out why? Or perhaps something did happen, and you're having a tough time accepting and moving forward. Do you get easily frustrated, annoyed, or angry? Are you finding that while in your younger days you had lots of friends, but are now wondering where everyone has gone? I work with busy adults who are struggling with these types of issues, and want to talk to someone neutral to look within themselves to find the strength and tools to feel better and live happier.

As a trained Bowen Family Systems Therapist, I am eager to work with individuals, couples and families on the wide range of issues that exist in human life. I see all difficulties in life as opportunities to understand oneself better and think through the issues at hand. These difficulties can best be understood through a broad lens, that addresses all parts of an issue. Work in Family Systems allows one to fully comprehend one's part in the issue(s) and figure out the best next step.

Are you in a place where you have done all you can, but are still unable to make the necessary positive changes you would like? Often times you may feel as if you have done everything possible, but change is still out of reach. I am a firm believer in the thought that all the skills necessary for change already lie within you, but could use the help of another to bring forth that change. By working together I believe that I can help you to acknowledge your dominate positive attributes in order to facilitate that much needed change.

As a therapist, my passion is to aid others in aligning the lives they are living with the path of the soul. Depth psychotherapy, IFS/ Parts work, Meditation and Tai Chi instruction, as well as Dream Work and Focusing, can begin to open us up to a more reflective space, developing and actualizing a greater sense of purpose and meaning in life. It may be time to dig a bit deeper in order to satisfy that quest for purpose. Often this search for meaning begs our attention through such symptoms as physical pain, depression, anxiety, anger or a simple but frustrating lethargy with life.
