A colleague of mine used to say "Work is easy; people are hard." He was right. Relationships are the fabric of life, and as your counselor, I'm committed to assisting you in developing relational skills that will enable you to change old patterns of behavior and begin to develop new ones that will promote healthy connection. I have a passionate interest in relational and family dynamics and in our work together I teach tools and strategies for effectively overcoming individual issues of stress, anxiety, anger, and depression that get in the way of healthy, strong, and growing relationships.
The story of our lives provides a framework within which I choose to work in therapy, and in leading workshops. I've taught on parenting adult children, and strengthening marriages. I'm currently developing a workshop designed to identify and eliminate threats to intimacy in relationships, especially marriage.
I focus on collaborative goal-setting, developing self-awareness, and applying what's learned to improving your important relationships. I'm experienced in working with couples struggling with marriage, and family/parenting issues. I look forward to helping you grow through, rather than being defined by, your life's challenges.
