Helping individuals grow from personal struggles

Are you feeling worried, stressed, anxious, or depressed?
Are you struggling with hurt or trauma from the past that
make it difficult to enjoy life? Have you lost someone you
love and feeling overwhelmed and alone with your grief?
Let me help you understand your emotions and develop
skills to cope effectively.

Helping couples grow throughout the life span

Whether you are newly partnered or been married
for many years, challenges occur over life that can
create stress on the relationship. Trying to have
a family, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, parenting,
work, financial pressures, and a growing emotional
distance can test the best of relationships. I have
worked with couples for over four decades to
communicate better, renew closeness, and grow
through these transitions.

Helping clinicians grow professionally

Through my writing, research, teaching and supervision,
I have been at the forefront of starting a highly specialized
area of counseling and psychotherapy, educating and
training clinicians about emotional aspects of reproductive
health and loss. I am committed to helping the next
generation of mental health professionals and reproductive
health providers to care for patients struggling with
infertility and pregnancy/neonatal loss.

Welcome.

Are you struggling with personal issues, relationship problems, or a life crisis that makes it difficult to see your way through? Therapy can provide the helping guidance you need during this time while providing support to help you grow from the experience. The foundation of good therapy is based on the relationship you have with your therapist.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over forty years of experience in the Washington area. As a therapist, I am committed to helping individuals and couples grow through the struggles and challenges of life. As a clinician, I have spent my career educating and training other mental health professionals and healthcare providers on how to assist their clients as they face life crisis and transitions. Individuals and couples may struggle to emotionally grow and develop full happiness, not unlike a lotus that must push through the murkiness of its environment before reaching the light, at which time it blossoms into a flower of unique beauty and strength. I welcome the opportunity to work with you.
