Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

Through many years of professional and personal experience, I've become an expert at helping children, teens, and adults deal with the difficult adjustment of separation and divorce. My goal is to help children and parents thrive before, during, and after separation and divorce. When divorced parents find new partners and form new family units, the forming of "blended families" can be a difficult transition for everyone involved. I specialize in assisting individuals and families navigate and adjust to changes in their family so that they may be healthy and happy.

My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy

The purpose of psychotherapy is different for each person. For some, psychotherapy is a process of healing, accepting, and adapting to changes in one's life. For others, therapy is a tool for personal growth, and a way of gaining personal insight and developing a plan to become the person they want to be.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

I enjoy forming an alliance with my patients, and helping others through genuine and honest communication about what they choose to share with me. I feel very satisfied when I see people change in they way they desire and making progress towards their goals. I am passionate about mental health and psychotherapy because I know the power of the mind and how therapists can help others improve their life and relationships.

My Therapy Focus

The focus of my therapy work is separation, divorce, and blended family issues. I work with children, teens, and adults to deal with the emotional tension, anger, and grief associated with the transitions of separation and divorce. I also work with children and teens with self-esteem and behavior problems, and adults with depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. I enjoy working with couples to improve their communication and strengthen their relationships and marriages so that each partner feels loved, respected, and understood.
