WELCOME
Today you are one step closer to feeling empowered and on a positive path to growth and well being.
We all experience ups and downs at times and hit obstacles that seem hard to get around, from childhood through adulthood. It's normal and part of life. An important question is how are you coping? If you are looking for extra support through a difficult situation, possibly struggling in a relationship, or maybe your child is exhibiting unusual behaviors or symptoms, I can be of help in guiding you to cope in a healthy way and move in a new direction. Please see the FAQ page for more information about relationship problems and childhood/adolescent depressive symptoms.
As a therapist with over 23 years of experience, my goal is to help you or your loved ones uncover your true potential to feeling healthier and happier in life and relationships. I have worked with children, teenagers, adults and families for many years in a wide spectrum of issues, ranging from negative thinking and anxiety to behavioral problems and divorce. Please see Divorce Guidance for Parents page for helpful information about divorce. While we can't change difficult situations ofthe past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges you may be having now. By applying various therapy approaches and techniques, we can unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. With support and understanding, I guide clients in learning and implementing new coping tools and strategies that can truly be effective in making long term healthy changes.
