Approach
I am a licensed psychotherapist and registered art therapist. I see clients with a wide range of issues including
relationship problems, adjustment difficulties, life and career transitions,
depression, anxiety, self-esteem and family structures. I aim to
help clients achieve their goals through an increase in self-awareness
and personal insight. Our work together will explore
thoughts, feelings and actions; to increase the sense of well-being and
to better manage stress.
An area of focus in my practice is counseling couples, families and individuals in the early stages of parenthood. Transitioning from a couple to a family is a major life adjustment, both physically and emotionally. Having kids can place tremendous strain on a once healthy relationship. Working through issues in therapy can help families find balance and strengthen their partnership while facing the demands of parenthood.
Couples often feel ashamed to ask for help or seek out counseling with the assumption that "this shouldn't be so hard" or "maybe we weren't cut out to be parents." But the truth is that research shows that most couples experience a substantial decrease in relationship satisfaction in the first year following the birth of their baby. I work with clients to provide communication tools and resources during this challenging life transition.
