Something has to change … you recognize it is time to make a change but actually making that change can be overwhelming. We become comfortable with those unhealthy/unhelpful thoughts and behaviors because at least we know what to expect … the same disappointments. With over 20 years of experience working with individuals and families, addressing anxiety, depression, life transitions and family conflicts, allow me to help you to identify the life patterns that are no longer serving you and help you to write a new life script. My treatment approach is eclectic, pulling from a variety of theories and experiences as each individual has specific and unique needs. I believe that the “obstacle thoughts” that keep us from reaching our goals, originate during early childhood experiences. Consequently, I draw predominantly from cognitive behavioral, and family systems perspectives. If you are unhappy in your relationships, struggle with depression or anxiety, have difficulty with work/family balance, or just know that something needs to change but you are not sure exactly what, please contact my office so that you can begin that journey with guidance and support.
