I have worked with parents and families for many years. I enjoy working with couples and families who are in transitions. Building communication and understanding in the midst of changing relationships is both difficult and rewarding. Are you struggling with getting through a transition in your life? Do you just have a general sense of anxiety and unhappiness, or feel some strain in your relationships, or want to deepen your self-awareness? I help clients by employing psychodynamic therapy focused on treating by helping clients adjust their feelings and actions.
I can help you learn new coping tools, explore your options, and help you with new roles in your life. I focus on communication, relationship-building and developing insight and self understanding. Clients appreciate my clear communication and warm approach while we work together to find answers.
I am taking new clients in person and via telehealth. I invite you to call or email to set up a 15 minute consultation.
