I work with adults, at-risk teens and their families, and couples who seek both solutions and meaning. In addition to treating people experiencing life challenges including marriages/partnership/intimacy issues, divorce, depression, stress, anxiety, and career choice/development, I specialize in trauma — supporting traumatized family members and friends who have lost a loved one in a violent and tragic way such as a crash, medical problem, homicide, suicide or overdose, and complicated grief.
Let’s look at who you are today, right now, where you might want to go, what holds you back and what might help. Let’s find self-esteem based on understanding what’s inside you. Let’s start with today, and then look deeper at how your yesterdays affect your tomorrows. We will focus on what’s not working and will develop your strengths with compassion. We will find authentic balance and self-respect, step-by-step building resiliency so you can nurture deep intimacy with those you choose to be in your life.
With 30 years experience, I’ve taught and counseled preschool teachers, parents, gang-affiliated teens, medical school students, public prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys, victims assistance staff members, mental health therapists, judges and many, many clients. I’ve learned from them all.
