Another clinical passion and area of focus has been assisting women and mothers with identity development and navigating life transitions.

Although my expertise covers a wide range of mental health areas, my focus has been on adolescents and families experiencing problems with adapting to life challenges. I have often worked with children and adolescents on couples and families on relationship issues and life transitions. Relationships grow and evolve as individuals move to different stages of life. Maintaining healthy relationships during times of change requires focused attention on individual and family systems needs. Life goals and long term aspirations can be distorted by near term priorities.

Do you find yourself bottling things up and believe others would not understand? Do you become so stressed at times that you cannot concentrate at work or school, even to point of avoiding loved ones? Periods of uncertainty and trials come into our lives, but its how we choose to deal with that change that impacts our quality of life. If you're feeling confused, overwhelmed, depressed, anxious or lacking a sense of direction, therapy can help you build the strength you need to get through it and be prepared for whatever life throws your way.

Life is a journey and everyone's trial and tribulations are different. In life, it is inevitable that change occurs and that can be an overwhelming venture to embark on alone. I can be a tool and a resource for you during your time of need. I am passionate about helping others; it is a calling in my life. As Elisabeth Kubler-Ross stated, "Beautiful people do not just happen." Ross's statement has always sparked a fire within me, as I know from personal and professional experience that strength comes from within and growth comes from pain, sometimes we just need a little help.
