Relationships are the bedrock of our wellbeing. When things go awry in our relationships with partners, parents, children or friends our stability is threatened. For over thirty years I have helped couples, friends, adult children and their parents repair and enhance their relationships. I have found that the combination of individual and joint sessions is most effective in helping clients reach their goals.

Most people encounter rough times in their lives. I like to help people to get through these times. I like to help people to explore more options. When upset, many people get stuck in their ideas and wishes. I like to help people figure out ways to overcome challenges that interfere with their enjoyment of life and all it has to offer. I am an experienced therapist and have worked with a variety of people in varied clinical settings. I particularly enjoy working as an independent practitioner with all the unique concerns my clients bring.

I view therapy as a way for one to get to know oneself better through knowing and understanding your conscious and unconscious drives, defenses and longings. I believe that when we know ourselves better we can be more in control of life's journey and have a better grip on the internal and often subconscious obstacles that get in the way of one's fulfillment.

Happiness and fulfillment in life is achieved when the relationships with our inner self, our partner, and our family members are harmonious. Harmony is a process, not a result. I strategize with my clients, who are sick of the status quo, to help them identify areas in their individual, marital, and familial lives that can facilitate peaceful resolutions.

Over the past 14 years I have put together a unique system of problem solving and planning called "Growing The Whole Way". This system teaches how to think bigger and work with the mind, body, and spirit for better results in making change. It also supports taking care of yourself in the process. My workbook includes key concepts and practical strategies to help with motivation, organization, and meaningful planning. It also teaches efficiency along with follow through and self development. Once complete this book can become a personalized reference outside of session time. This system can also be used again for future goals.

After almost 30 years in mental health, I'm still passionate about the work I do. With that said, I'm here to help with the problems that have brought you to therapy. Gathering information and developing our relationship, along with trust and creating a safe space to share are my strengths in helping others. I use various approaches to assist clients. Along with this, I enjoy educating about how we learn and form in an inter-generational family system and how we can transmit problems in that family system unconsciously. This can inform and empower growth and change.
