I help individuals and couples develop clear strategies to reduce feelings of anxiety, depression and loneliness. Those coping with marital or relationship difficulties, career transitions and parenting issues find my gentle directness helpful in improving the quality of their lives. In a calm, neutral environment, I offer clients the opportunity to understand themselves in a manner that leads to more satisfying family, marital and work relationships. I utilize family systems and cognitive behavioral therapy to help individuals and couples improve their communication skills and navigate the uncertain waters of change.
Single people, premarital couples and those in committed relationships increase their chances of relationship success by exploring the ways in which they operate within their own family. My clients learn to identify their strengths, long-standing beliefs and potential obstacles to healthy development.
As a behavioral coach, I utilize the therapeutic partnership, humor and homework to reduce unproductive thinking, and increase positive behavior, and help my clients grow and evolve.
