Psychotherapy/Counseling

| Practice Description: |
I look at individuals within the framework of their relationships. Goals include helping to strengthen positive connections and understand more about all of their relationships past and present in order to promote healing, and help sort through whatever difficulties they may be facing. I have worked with children and families on many issues including limit setting, adolescent development, anxiety, adoption, separation/grief, and parenting after divorce/remarriage.
I have had intensive post-graduate training in family and couples therapy and in working clinically with all members of the adoption triad. I have also worked within the foster care system and for years at a family mental health clinic. In particular I have worked extensively with adolescent girls.
Married and a mother of two teens and one young adult, I bring years of personal and professional experience to my work.
