I have over 30 years experience helping couples to create change and renegotiate their relationships to avoid divorce; heal from life cycle events, affairs or addictions, and help blended families sort out boundaries. With all this experience I believe there is a good chance I can help you. You will learn alternative skills for resolving current and repetitive conflicts. I specialize in couples and family therapy resolving family of origin influences or dysfunctions, as well as impact of traumas, life events, or loss.
Experience treating: anxiety, depression, sexual issues, hopeless feelings, fears, PTSD, work stress, feeling overwhelmed, anger and acting out behavior I respect the unique challenges each family faces, frequently communication patterns become rigid and quickly respond to negative expectations, making simple talks almost impossible. People become focused on the negative and lose sight of the positive aspects of one another. Therapy is to help individuals or couples expand their options.
It is understood that it may be embarrassing, and can sometimes be connected to a sense of failure, to bring personal problems to a Therapist. There may also be a fear of being blamed or a hopelessness that nothing can help or create change. It is my job to give hope and to develop options and solutions that create change; and to see our unique problems differently.
30 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families has provided me with a wealth of knowledge and understanding that I can share to help others.
