Life is a journey and how we navigate the roadblocks and pitfalls determines how we are able to emotionally function in a healthy and productive manner. I understand that each person has their unique challenges that cannot be avoided, however, I can help to prioritize and put challenges into perspective while helping you function at your best and most productive self. I have a reality-based approach and challenge my clients to confront the thoughts and feelings that have been keeping them from moving forward.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
We will try to identify problem areas and barriers that that are getting in the way of progress.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have worked extensively with high functioning professionals who are struggling with life balance. I have an expertise in working with adolescents and family dynamics. I understand depression and grief including end of life issues. I enjoy working together with clients as a team to help them achieve their goals.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In today's world, individuals often feel inadequate or disconnected. If one's experience or situation can not be changed, cognitive changes have proven effective to help individuals better cope. By reframing one's perceptions and behaviors you can feel empowered to refocus your energy into workable short-term solutions. Subsequently, step-by step longer-term life goals seem achievable.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In the lives of your coworkers, neighbors and perhaps family members, cognitive behavioral techniques help one to face fears, identify negative thought patterns and improve self worth. As an evidence-based approach, cognitive techniques have been shown to treat a wide range of condiitons including depression, anxiety and OCD.
Structural Family Therapy
As evidenced in the check-out line at your supermarket, there is no "perfect parent" or "perfect child". Understanding the evolving structure, culture and expectations of couples and family dynamics is the key to balanced and healthy connections. By fostering a productive dialogue of ongoing interactions, together we can aciheve more harmonious relationships.
Grief Therapy
Let's begin by acknowledging that there is no "right way to grieve". There is only your individual way to grieve. Similarly, grief can come to us in many forms. For instance, the death of a loved one can bring forth additional issues or heartbreak. By understanding complex feelings and associated behaviors, we can utilize coping strategies and support systems to brighten one's day-to-day life.
