My Approach to Helping

I specialize in helping couples and families rebuild the lost or injured connection in their relationships. Life stresses can put our primary relationships in emotional turmoil so that help is needed. Identifying and understanding the common patterns that you and your loved one usually fall into, helps you make intentional choices about being together differently. Sorting things out, and finding clarity brings relief and a new sense of direction. I work in a collaborative and interactive style to fully understand and address your individual concerns such as anxiety or depression, or your relationship concerns such as connection and intimacy, conflict, or life transitions. Your needs are valued and honored in the process of creating the choices and changes you'd like to make.

More Info About My Practice

I also work with gifted children and their families. I help parents in understanding how to work successfully with the intensity, emotional sensitivity, and unique needs commonly found in their children. My work extends to families struggling with ADD/ADHD. I support adults and children to stengthen their abilities to focus, listen, organize, manage distractions, and stay with tasks until they're completed. This helps people find greater success in school, home, and the workplace.
