I provide therapy for those who wish to create long lasting and positive changes in their lives and relationships. I offer safe compassionate and supportive counseling in an atmosphere that deepens understanding, promotes healing, and releases potential. Trauma and loss can cause sadness, depression and pain that inhibit and block. As your therapist we will resolve these emotional issues releasing creativity, confidence, ambition, and your ability for good relationships.

My style of therapy is empathic and respectful of personal values and lifestyles. I use interactive talk therapy and other appropriate techniques such as EMDR. The presenting problems are first alleviated. Profound change and personal growth are then able to take place through understanding and healing of the deeper underlying issues. If we can't work together for any reason, I will do my best to provide appropriate therapist referrals.
Services
Couples counseling is one of my specialties, and I am skilled, experienced, and successful in my work.
My personal style, when working with couples, is interactive, empathic, and non-judgmental.
My style is geared toward effective problem-solving and the use of specific, useable interventions.
This approach allows for a deepening of trust and intimacy.
I work with couples of all sexual orientations, lifestyles and cultures.
If we can't work together for any reason, I will do my best to provide appropriate therapist referrals.
I specialize in working with families in conflict and I am effective and accomplished at this work.
My success as a family therapist is due to skilled training, extensive work experience, and my own life experience as a parent.
When working with families I assess for each specific situation and use appropriate individualized methods and techniques.
This may involve working with only a single member of the family, a combination of various members of the family, or the whole family in the therapy room together.
Child therapy is one of my specialities and I am successful and accomplished in this enjoyable work.
I believe that the most important person in a child's life is you, the parent and my first appointment is usually with the parent to better understand the difficulties your child is having.
My style of child therapy is child centered.
My office is child friendly and well-equipped with therapeutic toys, and art materials.
Younger children are primarily seen in once weekly play therapy, using the language of play to communicate their concerns.
EMDR is a revolutionary therapy proven by research to be effective in the treatment and relief of a wide range of disorders.
The EMDR technique is most effective when used in conjunction with other traditional methods of therapy.
EMDR therapy can help clients replace their anxiety and fear with positive images, emotions and thoughts.
The core of the procedure involves the client focusing on a pre-selected specific image or remembered sensations while the therapist guides the client's eye movements to move back and forth.
How parents negotiate their childrearing beliefs and their day-to-day shared parenting responsibilities is called co-parenting.
When parents can agree on parenting decisions, the positive benefits of co-parenting are seen.
Co-parents who agree on parenting issues and support each other's efforts create an environment that allows children to grow and thrive.
After a divorce or separation it may seem unthinkable to begin to build a new parenting relationship with an ex-spouse.
But with effort, it can be done.
