One thing we are all guaranteed to experience in life is CHANGE! Our families, friends, finances, intimate relationships, our health and careers can be counted on to consistently serve up both welcome, sought-after changes, and at other times bewildering, overwhelming new issues.

I seek to create the kind of warm, trusting, engaged relationship that enables my clients to explore and develop the personal insights, coping skills, and self-awareness to allow them to cope with existing and future life changes.

Have you been feeling "stuck?" Are you having difficulty coping with stress in your life due to relationships, parenting, employment or other life transitions? Do you have concerns about your child's behavioral or emotional functioning? Does your child have difficulty interacting with his/her peers? If any of the above ring true, please know that you are not alone. Often, accepting that there is a problem, or that something in your life needs improvement, can be a difficult first step. It is not uncommon to encounter bumps in the road, though it's important to know that these challenging times CAN improve.
