I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and couples. Children and teens who come for services may have a variety of concerns, including anxiety, ADHD, depression, acting-out behaviors, divorce-related sadness or any issue that is interfering with friendships, academics or family life.
Adults and couples who come for therapy often feel they are at an impasse and are ready to make personal changes that will improve the quality of their lives. This sense of being at a stalemate may be related to relationship problems, depression, career concerns, divorce/separation, or grief and loss. I also offer consultation, presentations and training to schools, government agencies and corporations in areas related to psychological topics.
Full and half day training programs are available on topics such as Innovative Problem Solving, Communication Essentials, and Stress and Resilience.

Adults who come for therapy often want to know what they can anticipate from the process.
It is important to establish specific expectations from the outset so that clients can evaluate changes as they occur as well as take satisfaction in the work of therapy.
Working through issues such as anxiety, loss/grief, depression and poor relationships happens on both internal and external levels.
Clients begin the process by developing insight about themselves, their feelings and their old belief paradigms.

The purpose of psychotherapy is to increase self awareness and insight, and to promote changes in thinking and behavior.
Therapy is designed to address issues such as mood disorders, behavior disorders and long standing relationship problems.
It may also be aimed at everyday life issues that interfere with the ability to work optimally, perform in school, adjust to change or select a career path.
Most people come to therapy when they feel they have exhausted their typical means of problem-solving and would like a fresh perspective.
