I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, specializing in individual & couples therapy. I hold a Master's of Arts Degree from the Adler Graduate School, in Counseling Psychology & Marriage and Family Therapy. I have been in private practice since 2004 and working in the field since 1997.
My training and mode of therapy integrates Adlerian Psychology and Family Systems. I am also fully trained and certified in EMDR for working with trauma and anxiety issues. My Specialties include working with individuals and couples who are experiencing stress due to: anxiety; extra-marital affairs; mid life crisis; struggles with pregnancy and family life cycle transitions; loss of focus or change in the couples sexual connection; parenting; work and career issues.
I am an intense and passionate person and I bring this to my work with clients. I am not the type of therapist who will sit back in the chair and just nod and smile. I am interested in really understanding my clients and respectfully challenging them, when necessary, in order to help them create change. I will partner with you to figure out what patterns are present in your relationships; if they are working well; where they came from; and recognizing the power you have to change the dysfunctional into new, functional patterns of relating.
I look forward to meeting you and joining you on this journey towards a healthier, more whole you!
