I believe the therapeutic relationship is yet another important relationship and encourage open dialogue on how to best work together.
Everything we do involves relationships; so when we are not feeling effective in this part of our lives, other parts suffer as well. Over the past twenty five years I have worked on relationships with teenagers and adults through individual, family and couples work. My specialty is effective communication coaching in order to get needs met in relationships. I do this through the lens of family systems work, asking thoughtful questions and offering perspective. Anyone who is willing to walk through the therapy door and want more out of their relationships is who I welcome in my office.

Accepting new in-person and teletherapy clients! You may feel life is getting the best of you or that relationship issues are overwhelming.

You know you need to break the cycle.

I’ve also found that sometimes parents are doing the best they can, and in spite of their efforts, the relationship may be strained.

And in recent years, the stresses and challenges have only increased, making it even harder for children to succeed. I bring a unique understanding of how brain function impacts behavior coupled with counseling skills to help children, pre-teens, and adults change their lives for the better. In addition to counseling, I am board certified in neurofeedback. I have worked hundreds of hours with clients to train their brains to shift into a more functional state.

We all need a place to be seen and be real. To not have to worry about getting judged, saying the wrong thing or hurting the feelings of those whom we love and often confide. I see adolescent and adult individuals looking to develop coping skills for depression or anxiety, process trauma or grief, set healthy boundaries, or simply be heard in a safe and confidential space. We work together to find the tools needed to navigate life's challenges. While our intentional focus will be working towards your identified goals, it's important to acknowledge the unintentional benefits of simply having a space to call your own.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
