Are You Ready to Learn, Grow, Feel Better?

You are the expert of your life: As a therapist, my goal is to help you facilitate positive adaptation,
growth and change within a safe solution-focused environment. Leveraging your own strengths and
competencies, I will seek to support you in meeting challenges, discovering what gets you stuck,
and handling the stress in your life.
 
My approach is both personalized and systemic. Using a variety of science based theories and methods, I work with individuals, families and groups to develop greater individual differentiation, better relationships and improved communication patterns. I believe that families and individuals can become better at change, expanding their repertoire of positive coping strategies; responding and not reacting to both significant life milestones, and those unexpected curveballs.  I welcome those grieving a loss of all kinds, as the process is individual, isolating and often dislocating.
​
In addition to a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy, I hold a Masters and Advanced Certificate in School Psychology, providing me with additional understanding of child and adolescent development - and the disruption that comes from even expected family life-cycle changes. I understand the special considerations and family impact of children with unique learning, social and/or emotional styles. 
 
I also have expertise and special interest in supporting families through decisions and challenges facing aging individuals.  As we live longer than we ever expected, we are navigating relational, cultural, logistical and practical decisions facing care, independence, safety and decision making.  People in the final third of their lives are finding that the world and their own situations are not what they expected. My style is open, accepting, and curious as I support your ability to adapt, and when necessary, reimagine.​
