Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MFT #123769, CPT
We are a social species. We need human connection. Healthy human connection. Relationships can be a place to foster growth as individuals and as a unit. Finding the right words to communicate your experience and learning to hear others languages is critical to having satisfying and meaningful relationships.
I have worked with people therapeutically 35+ years.
I have been married for over 40 years, and raised 2 kids.
I have worked a regular job to make a living and provide for my family.
I am rock solid in physical reality, and also a romantic visionary and can translate between the two worlds.
Most couples come to therapy when it's almost too late. Any relationship benefits from some time devoted to working through communication and intimacy issues. Helping couples really listen to each other, understand each other's perspective and work towards a healthy solution or compromise is a very rewarding aspect of my work.
I believe everyone has the potential to meet and overcome life's obstacles. I am direct and empathetic, providing a safe and compasssionate place to work with you through life's challenges and to regain stability in your life. Call or email today to begin making your life more manageable.
While I work with adults and couples, I specialize in treating children and teenagers. I treat children and teenagers who are dealing with depression, who are suicidal, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, cutting, bipolar to name a few issues. I also work with high conflict divorces.
I work on both ends of the relationship funnel - those going in , those stuck in the middle and those going out. Relationship dynamics are complicated but building the connection is easy. Through building communication skills and listening techniques, it is possible to see things clearly. I use CBT, CCT and EFT to effectively cut through emotional clutter to get you back on track.
All relationships have their fault lines. In our work, we will explore the fundamental reasons for the relationship difficulties that you are experiencing, with the aim of bringing everyone's desire into play.
