Issues with Drugs and Alcohol

I have been working in the areas of alcohol, drugs and with clients with co-occuring disorders for 35 years. I believe that recovery is not just about stopping use, but also about looking at underlying issues and deeper, on-going growth.

Relationships: romantic, friends, family & work

Humans are relational beings. At times those relationships can be a struggle.  Often people come to individual therapy when they are entering a new relationship, struggling in a current relationship or getting out of a relationship. Together we explore your relationships past and present. We will work towards healing old wounds, learning about healthy boundaries and building a sense of peace and satisfaction in your current relationships. 

Co-Parenting Therapy

This area of my work focuses primarily on couples who are breaking up, separating or divorcing, helping them through the process in a respectful and thoughtful manner. I am an experienced Family Court Mediator, working closely with couples to understand their needs and to develop comprehensive and developmentally appropriate custody plans and agreements.
