Whether working with an individual, couple, or family, I primarily work from a family systems perspective, helping clients understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in context, and empowering them to grow emotionally through their relationship struggles. I further assess for anxiety, depression, and mental illness, making professional referrals if necessary.
A former lawyer, I became a therapist so that I could help people resolve rather than escalate conflict. Thus, I am especially well-suited for discernment counseling, marriage/family therapy and even divorce counseling for those who have already decided to end their marriage but need help ending it well.
