My private practice has been established for over 30 years and focuses on the unique needs of every adult, child and family that I see. Therapy is about helping you understand yourself better, solve problems that have effected your relationships and work and to help enhance your life in many ways.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist and have been practicing for 45 years. I work with my clients in an interactive way helping them to find real world solutions to their issues and problems.
I provide couples/family/relational therapy for adolescents and adults both in the context of their relationships as well as through relationship-focused therapy for individuals who want to improve their interpersonal lives. Our relationships impact our thoughts, our feelings, and our behaviors. Relationships can be supportive, or they can weigh us down. How our relationships impact us can be obvious to us and everyone around us, or they can be insidious and live in the pit of our stomachs-- creeping up on us as feelings we can’t put the right words to. ...and anywhere in between… It can be difficult to understand and connect how these feelings slowly change what we do and who we are. ‘Relational’ therapy with more than one client aims to help improve interactions with each other, achieve relational goals, and cultivate value and meaning together.
Let's create a compassionate and supportive space where individuals navigating the challenges of divorce can engage in creative processes that facilitate emotional healing, self-reflection, and empowerment, helping them find new possibilities for growth and self-discovery.
Separating from a partner is a unique kind of grieving process: one that involves layers of complexity and perplexing mixed emotions that can often feel all-consuming. Divorce is major upheaval, both logistically as well as spiritually, and I work with my clients, slowly but surely, to move through the various stages of grief and discomfort towards a renewed sense of wellbeing. I also work closely with my clients to manage the inevitable uptick in stress throughout divorce proceedings.
We have lots of experience in working with couples and families dealing with divorce, particularly high conflict couples and families. Our work in Family Law matters has prepared us to be helpful to you in managing your emotional life through the divorce, and work on restructuring your identity in your post-divorce life.
With the use of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, I will guide you and your partner, or just you alone, through the disconnection you are experiencing, and be with you while you reconnect first with your SELF, with the goal of being being able to reconnect with your partner or feel whole enough to find a new love.
