Working to help you build your self-esteem and well-being is one of my goals as a psychotherapist. As a psychotherapist, I deal with healing problems from your childhood that are still with you as an adult. I utilize CBT/DBT skills training as well as EMDR and Guided Imagery to help you to identify patterns which you wish to change and then I work with you to change these patterns.

In my work with couples,  I use Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy to facilitate a deeper understanding of each other and a more accepting and compassionate regard for your partner. I also use the teachings of John Gottman, Harville Hendrix and Brent Atkinson as a way to teach couples how to enhance their relationship. I emphasize the need for respect, positive regard for your spouse, and accepting bids for attention and connection.

It is a joy to be a facilitator of the process that helps people grow, enjoy life more and bring out the creative and healing part of themselves.
