Working with individual adults and couples, I have 35 years experience supporting men and women who want to heal and grow. Stress, depression and anxiety often stem from relationship and workplace concerns. My couples counseling focuses on communication skills. To help heal childhood pain, I use varied modalities, including trauma work, Adult Children (ACA) work, and parent/adult child conversations . Another specialty area is adults with addictions, family members with addicted loved ones, and codependency. I support the changes that come with each decade of life, along with retirement , aging and end-of-life issues.
I offer many tools to deal with the stresses and transitions of life that affect individuals and couples. I have extensive experience and interest in helping adults heal the trauma of childhood and create a fulfilling life for themselves. ACA/ACOA support available.
Developing healthy self-esteem and self-love are my focus. I love my work and want to help others love theirs. I support career and workplace issues, and offer encouragement to take the leap to find work that is deeply satisfying. I am an active, engaged therapist, trained in many types of therapy.
