Life is all about relationships--beginning with the one you have with yourself. My goal is to provide a safe place for you to explore your underlying feelings leading to a better understanding and acceptance of who you are and who you can be. I will provide you a supportive relationship as you re-gain control of your life. Changes within often change relationships with others and that can be challenging, even frightening, yet rewarding. We will work together to strengthen emotional bonds with loved ones, cope with grief and loss, deal with trauma, and maintain a sense of inner balance.
Individuals coping with relationship stressors and changes in life circumstances (such as break-up, divorce, children leaving home, health, parents needing caregiving), anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, grief and loss. Extensive experience with adoption issues for those who have adopted, made an adoption plan, or were placed for adoption. Emotionally-focused couples' therapy.
Post-Graduate Training Certificate in Therapy with Adoptive & Foster Families awarded by Portland State University. Externship in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy sponsored by Chicago Center for Emotionally. Fellowship at Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis.
