My Approach to Helping
I believe strongly that the decision to seek counseling, therapy, or coaching either as an individual, couple or family is an important turning point in life. It is my honor to have the opportunity to listen as you share the experience of your life and we work together to determine what is working well and you should continue, what may need to be examined and adjusted, and what may need to be discarded. I believe that challenges and painful life experiences can be opportunities for growth and development but that an important part of this process is taking time to feel the impact of the experience in order to fully move through and beyond it. I believe many of us remain stuck in our life due to unacknowledged pain and loss. I am here to meet you where you are on your path and to journey with you, pointing out possibilities and opportunities that may have gone unnoticed by you previously. We will move at your pace. My goal as your Mental Health Counselor, Marriage and Family Therapist, or Life Coach is for you to learn to "Self Manage" so that ultimately your need for my service no longer exists and you are left with a toolkit of resources. My clients are challenged with homework and reading assignments tailored to their particular issues.

Groups I Work With
I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families in my Mental Health Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy, and Life Coaching practice. My areas of focus are: Life Coaching, relationships, communication skills, personal growth, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and grief. I have two areas of special interest in my marriage and family therapy practice. One is working with parents and teenagers to negotiate their relationship during these often challenging years (see information on my website groups page on the free Parenting Teens classes I offer). The other is working with Couples (couples' counseling, pre-marital counseling, marriage counseling, relationship therapy) to help them regain the connection and passion that commonly gets lost as "life" (jobs, kids, finances) happens or to help couples at the beginning of their relationship build the skills that will keep them in connection for a lifetime. I have a structured method of working with couples that involves Myers-Briggs personality assessments, communication exercises, and looking more deeply at the "dialogues" that occur between partners and how these are related to issues of disconnection in the basic emotional attachment that is essential for safety in a love relationship. One example of this would be looking closely at what is really happening when one of you pushes and prods and the other shuts down and gives up -- we will find a solution that you can carry with you and apply through your lifetime together-facing life's challenges shoulder to shoulder as a team. Life and Executive Coaching is another branch of my practice. I work with individuals who consider themselves emotionally healthy but may feel they are not achieving their full potential. We work together to identify passion, purpose, and to uncover self-limiting beliefs that may be preventing the achievement of the exceptional levels they are capable of. Another important aspect of coaching is having a "thought partner", someone to help you say aloud and make concrete those ideas and dreams that go around in your head but never seem to become a reality. Finally, accountability-a coach is someone to hold you accountable to the goals YOU set and help you stay on track.
