Life challenges us with stresses and problems throughout our life cycle, the way we respond to those challenges often is dependent on who we are and how we perceive our situation. I believe that looking at our experiences in our family of origin is crucial in coming to understand why we do the things we do and how we came to be who we are. Gaining insight into these areas not only helps us make sense out of our thoughts, feelings and behaviors, but also frees us to choose who we want to become.
I help couples create more satisfying relationships by improving their communication skills, reducing conflict, examining underlying issues and facilitating deeper empathy and understanding of one another.
I also support and coach parents who are struggling with the challenges of parenthood and improve their communication with their children to establish better relations with them.
A great deal of my practice involves working with children, and teens through different challenges such as anger, ADHD, depression, lack of impulse control, inability to follow direction as well as poor social skills and peer problems.
In addition, I lead discussion groups for teens as well as support groups for mother with teenage sons.
My mission is to help people with personal growth and continue living or achieving a happier and more successful life. I treat individuals with depression, loss, grief, anxiety, relationship issues, low self esteem, sexual and emotional abuse and help them heal unresolved wounds from childhood and achieve greater self-awareness and self esteem. I have also been working with clients with life transitions such as, pre-marital counseling, divorce, birth of a child or death of a loved one.
