Are you frustrated by your relationship with a difficult, manipulative or controlling person? Individuals in high conflict relationships often experience anxiety, depression and anger and can have difficulty asking for help. I specialize in providing supportive counseling for individuals in conflict-driven work, marital, family and co-parenting relationships.

I also specialize and deliver solution-focused treatment for individuals and parents involved in high conflict separation, divorce, contested custody, or family court litigation. My training from nationally known lawyers, psychologists and mediators allows me the unique opportunity to help you protect yourself, communicate more effectively with others, reduce conflict in your relationships and regain control of your life.

I provide supportive counseling to individuals in high-conflict work, marital or family relationships, and legal disputes (divorce, contested custody, coparenting).
I am one of the few therapists in this area who specializes in working with high conflict divorces and coparenting issues during active litigation.
I work best with individuals who can take direct feedback and are open to making changes.
I don't have a problem giving advice and I rarely ask my clients "how does that make you feel?"
Most of my clients see me for brief, solution-focused, short-term therapy - meaning we may meet frequently for several weeks or months and then only periodically.
I offer highly structured coparenting counseling to improve child-centered communication and increase consistency between homes.
Unfortunately, most parents in high conflict divorces receive coparenting services after the divorce is finalized.
By that time unhealthy communication patterns between the parents have solidified and become more difficult to change.
