I've had extensive experience in the treatment of relationship issues, stress management, transition difficulties, women’s issues, grief, substance abuse, lesbian/gay/bisexual/queer issues, codependency, parenting issues, as well as anxiety, depression, and other issues.
Relationship issues, difficulty achieving your goals and getting your needs met, and dealing with life in general can be hard. If you are feeling anxious, depressed, often exhausted and overwhelmed, stressed by the pressures in your life, relief is possible. With over 25 years experience as a therapist, I can offer a therapeutic atmosphere that is supportive and empowering so that you can achieve your goals. Together, we can make that happen. Resolving those issues is an important and worthwhile pursuit that often leads to a higher level of satisfaction and enjoyment in life. If that is your goal I'd like to help.

One of the most important aspects of treatment is the opportunity to be heard and to hear oneself, clearly, quietly away from the tumult of the life circumstances that can overwhelm and distract. Often circumstances in our lives inhibit our ability to do this. My focus will be to help you understand why you are feeling the way you do and how to move forward to attain the life you want. This happens when you are able to revisit and understand your past, clearly see your present and create goals for the life you want.

The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important aspects in treatment. Throughout my career, I have learned the most important way in which to foster a good working alliance is to meet clients where they are with respect to their treatment goals and aspirations. I will pay close attention to your needs and ensure that you feel comfortable with the process of treatment. I greatly encourage you to let me know if something is not working well for you so that we can develop a more effective plan to meet your treatment goals.

I have a special interest in working with adolescents and young adults struggling with issues of identity and achievement, individuals dealing with grief and loss, women (and men) experiencing infertility and adoption issues, adults in transition, and fractured parent/child relationships.
At one time or another, any one of us may feel overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. We may feel we are alone in our suffering or going through something no one else can understand. We may turn to drugs, alcohol or reckless behaviors. Our relationships suffer, our identity and self-worth collapse, and the vision we have for a happy, fulfilled future seems impossible to achieve. For many, therapy provides the guidance, skills, support and insight to unravel the source of suffering and change limiting thoughts, beliefs and behaviors into healthy, adaptive ones.
