I'm aware of how hard it is to talk about personal problems. You feel vulnerable, confused, embarrassed, angry, afraid, and childlike. You feel stuck at a certain level of understanding and problem solving and can't bounce back. You wish you could talk with someone who won't judge you, but listen deeply and help you recapture hope and meaning in your life and relationship. I believe I can help. I provide a safe place where you and your partner can understand how your feelings and thoughts affect the ways you act, react, think, feel, and relate. Together we will figure out how to resolve your painful conflict and develop new ways to heal your past and revision your future. My primary orientation is in depth psychotherapy with persons who struggle with persistent difficulties in their marriage and family. I work with people experiencing difficult life transitions, addictions, anger, anxiety, trauma, depression, and other issues that constrain emotional connection and personal growth. My therapeutic style is collaborative, supportive, and empathic.
