For 24 years, I've helped individuals and couples overcome problems and enhance their self-esteem, marriage and relationships. I'm a relationship expert and author of the forthcoming book, "Codependency for Dummies." People quickly see changes and acquire skills for solving problems, better communication, and the capability to manage emotions and boundaries. Whatever your challenge - a relationship, anxiety, depression, addiction, or stress - starting therapy is the first step towards healing. You'll gain a new perspective, new skills, and greater understanding. My approach is personal and intuitive. At my website, enter a monthly drawing for a FREE Dream Analysis.

I've helped many affected by abuse, codependency, and addiction to find recovery. I utilize client-centered, evidenced-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and harm-reduction. Formerly a lawyer, I mediated divorces and custody in Conciliation Court, and thus understand family crises and career pressures and transitions.

I draw on extensive personal experience and professional training, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, dream interpretation, visualization, gestalt, meditation, and hypnosis. Starting therapy takes courage. It's a catalyst for change that will empower you to achieve your goals and express your fullest potential. Call now for a phone consultation.
