I offer a therapeutic relationship, personal collaboration, and skills for many mental health issues, normal life transitions, traumatic experiences, grief, and loss.
I see people ages 17 to 90 for many differing issues some of which are long standing and others due to unexpected life events. I believe empathy, cultural sensitivity, and a good therapeutic relationship can remove barriers to finding solutions and will help to build strengths and skills. If you commit to the therapeutic work, I commit to helping you develop a new vision of what is possible for you; and I will help you learn practical skills to accept, change, and succeed at that vision. I believe we cannot change our past, but we can better understand and change how it impacts feelings, present reactions, and current options.

Whatever my clients' challenges, my focus remains on cultivating a supportive therapeutic relationship using a variety of resources to help clients embrace life, and act from a place of authenticity, integrity, and joy.
Sometimes life presents us with difficult challenges and we feel lost. We may be haunted by trauma, feel stuck in relationships, have negative thoughts cycling around in our minds, and find that we are sabotaging ourselves. Changing life circumstances-both positive (like the birth of a child) or negative (loss of a job)-can cause anxiety and despair. I address these issues by fostering a warm and trusting therapeutic relationship where clients become more aware of their thoughts and feelings, make sense of their experiences, and move forward in their lives.

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.
