Welcome!

I hope this website will give you a fuller understanding of what therapy is, what it can accomplish, and who I am.

Psychotherapy provides a safe place for you to confront and address the things that do not seem to be working in your life.  It allows for open exploration, a release of pent up emotions, a neutral perspective, support, and understanding in a safe environment. Most importantly though, I believe, it allows for the development of new coping skills, ways of handling conflict and upsetting emotions, and hope for increased life satisfaction, happiness, and joy. 

People enter therapy for many reasons - a few examples are:

• To overcome a specific problem.
  
• Learn how to better identify, understand, and manage upsetting emotions such as anger, anxiety, or depressed mood.
• To better manage stress.
• Improve communication skills and reduce conflict.
• To navigate life transitions.
• Increase self-esteem and confidence.
• To identify and overcome self destructive or self-sabotaging behaviors
• Work through past abuse or a painful past.
• Self-exploration

Often, parents will seek out therapy for their children and teens due to unmanageable behavior problems, school and peer issues, depression, anxiety, divorce, abuse and trauma, family and sibling conflict, or to help them through upsetting life circumstances.

Family therapy is often sought out in order to develop appropriate communication patterns, understand each other’s motivations, learn effective problem-solving techniques and learn alternate behavior management and/or parenting techniques.
