I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence but it comes from within. It is there all the time.

Individual Psychotherapy: Each person's therapy is unique. I work with adolescents, adults and seniors with issues regarding depression, anxiety and/or relational problems. I specialize in women's issues, eating and body image problems, infertility, bereavement and complicated grief issues, coping with mental illness in your family, and dilemma's for well siblings .
Couples Therapy: Difference in communication styles can make being in a relationship very difficult. It is one of the most intense relationships we have in our lives where we expect many needs to be fulfilled and don't often take the time to "check in" with each other until feelings are so hurt it feels irreparable. So often with couples I find that each partner wants the same things and because they communicate their needs so differently or have coping styles that are so different, they don't see it. This is where couples therapy can really help.
Groups: I'm very excited to tell you about my newest group!
