My goal is to give my clients the ability to gain insight and strength through a supportive, comfortable and energetic therapeutic relationship.
As a psychotherapist, my approach with clients is very down to earth. Not all clients and problems are the same which is why I tend to be a bit more eclectic in style. Life is stressful and filled with enormous challenges; our strength is put to the test daily. We all face dilemmas in our personal and professional lives often causing conflict in ourselves and our relationships. What is often most comforting is knowing that we are not alone. Through the course of therapy, I have one objective: to reach your goals together.

My primary goal is to help clients find the hope and courage to change and heal. I believe that all life circumstances, relationships, and experiences can lead to change and greater self-acceptance. Ultimately therapy helps clients cope with loss and use difficult life transitions to promote growth. In working with individuals, couples, families, and children, I have helped them cultivate resources and develop strengths from very challenging diagnoses and life circumstances. I have helped clients suffering from relationship conflicts, health crises, depression, trauma and loss issues, compulsive behaviors, and anxiety disorders.

Along with the relationship counseling, I also work very effectively with clients dealing with depression, bipolar and anxiety.
With over 20 years in the field, I believe that effective therapy begins with clearly defining the problem being addressed and the desired outcome. I am particularly focused on helping you develop stronger relationships through effective communication, personal insight and compassion. Whether you are trying to set healthy boundaries, express yourself, or build stronger bonds. Using empathy and humor, I am well suited to help clients who are struggling with relationship problems, depression, sexual compulsion, family conflicts and anxiety.

With couples I blend the Gottman's research and what I learned at The Couples Institute to focus on the growth and development of each partner and of the relationship.
Congratulations! You are choosing a hopeful step towards better wellbeing. Are you having difficulty with feelings, behaviors, relationships or a situation? We can sort that out, and develop improved ways to respond to difficulties, ways that work for you and help you move forward with less distress, more confidence and more effectiveness. Trust based on safety will be the foundation of our relationship and work together. Adjustments and change can be challenging, and any of us must first be ready and willing to be able to grow in response to life’s difficulties. Therapy can be described as a get ready, get set, grow process.

I welcome anyone into my practice, who wants to make a better relationship with themselves.
Hello, and welcome! I’m so excited that you’re here. Perhaps you are experiencing dissatisfaction in your life, or perhaps you are unhappy with how some (or much) of your life is going. Maybe you are looking for a way to make better decisions, improve difficult relationships, or stop the self-criticism that persistently plays in your mind. Maybe you are ready to take yourself seriously and build a better life. Paying attention to the internal invitation to tend to your growth requires vulnerability and curiosity. It takes courage to truly show up for yourself and risk joy.

As a psychotherapist, a certified clinical trauma professional, and a former teacher, helping people to learn & grow have been the core focus of my entire life's work. I am intimately aware that the act of sharing our challenges and life struggles with a compassionate listener is a powerful one that can be transformational. Life will inevitably present us all with challenges and changes, and reaching out for support can be empowering. My treatment method is solution-focused & emotion-focused with a strengths-based approach to help my clients experience positive growth and gain mastery over their circumstances.

Someines, worry and anxiety can interfere with the things we need and want to do. Uncertainty may be all around us, but that doesn't mean that we have to stop moving forward. Moods, relationships, and life circumstances can create barriers that limit our paths and make it necessary to switch gears. Exploring these and other issues in a warm and engaging setting can make a difference in the quality and satisfaction we achieve in our daily lives. I work with people to help develop useful, personal tools that serve their specific needs.

Has the pandemic caused you to be aware that you have anxiety, worry or feelings of sadness or loneliness? Have you noticed that sometimes the closest people in your life have the hardest time understanding you? Thankfully, getting help from a professional no longer has the same stigma it once had.

Whether you are experiencing grief and loss, a battle with a chronic illness, or life adjustments, we can embrace your journey together!

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
