Work HistoryAt some point we all struggle to adjustment to life's changes; it's normal to feel stuck and I believe people have what it takes to adjust. For the past 20 years, I have been working with children and teens who are struggling to balance the demands of school and their social life. I integrate parents in my work as much as possible. I also work with adults and Couples often come to me for help in distress and are confused about how or why their relationship has derailed. I am dedicated to helping people build stronger; more intimate relationships and I use several modalities when attempting to help couples in distress. With couples I often use Emotionally Focused Therapy, The Gottman Method, and Imago Relationship Therapy. I believe relationships are complex and one must use ALL tools available when trying to help. I help people find creative ways to reinvent themselves after divorce, loss of a spouse, and other major life transitions. I have extensive experience working with military personnel, Veterans, Guard and Reservists, and their families. I am also an Army Veteran.
