My approach is active, compassionate and goal oriented. My areas of expertise include relationships, couples therapy, stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting, learning, and career development. I work with clients to replace negative, rigid or chaotic patterns with creative, positive and fulfilling alternatives. Each session is focused, goal directed, and collaborative to set the stage for transforming personal narratives and behavior patterns. I guide clients to overcome obstacles/blind spots and shift in positive and proactive ways to improve their relationships and to experience well being. In my 3 decades of clinical experience, I have had the joy of witnessing many clients become more purposeful, creative, and productive in their lives.
