Practice Description
I want to assist you in loving the life you are living. To have more joy passion and enthusiasm for in all areas of your life. I help people develop their own strengths and find greater possibilities and options for their lives. I am considered a gentle, compassionate listener who assists individuals, couples and families in finding practical solutions. I assist individuals and couples with emotionally charged issues in a safe and caring environment. I specialize in relationships, couples counseling, parenting, creativity, self esteem, transitions, stress and anxiety, divorce, family business issues, and spiritual and personal growth issues. I also am a registered divorce mediator and parenting coordinator. My hope is that you will wake up every morning happy to be alive and looking forward to the new day. We will work together to help you find ways to increase your happiness and satisfaction in your relationships, by developing a clearer understanding of yourself. A client recently said to me, "You helped me learn to help myself." That is what I hope I can do for you.
