I help those I treat – individuals, adolescents, couples and families – reach the essence of whatever is blocking their ability to thrive, and arrive at a resolution.

I partner with individuals to become unstuck from their pain, allowing them to feel more alive and connected to themselves and others. I help them gain access to their deeper truth and discover inner strength and wisdom they did not know existed. This frees them to cope well and make decisions that better reflect what is important to them. I assist individuals in removing obstacles, finding solutions, and achieving success in creating the life they want.

I coach couples so they actually feel listened to and understood when discussing sensitive issues and can finally negotiate areas of conflict. I intervene with families so that the needs of each individual and relationship are met; parents become effective and feel fulfilled in their parenting roles; and children become more cooperative, developmentally “on track,” and happier to be part of the family.

Since they are in the stage of separating from their parents, teens in distress benefit profoundly from
a relationship with a therapist. Through therapy with adolescents, I can assess and address
substance use and other risk factors, such as depression, and help them turn around destructive
behavior and develop healthier attitudes and relationships.
