My Specialties

Women in Mid-Life with Marital Issues
Is your marriage unsatisfying? Is it filled with repetitive, unproductive arguments, or with feelings of loneliness? Do you feel that there is just no way to make it better, or that if you leave it, you won’t be able to support yourself? Or has divorce been thrust upon you?

Women who have been married for many years often find themselves feeling scared, angry, unsure and depressed when faced with the possibility of divorce. I can help you sort out your feelings and your choices – the alternatives you actually have, the pluses and minuses of each choice.

For many women, divorce becomes the only option. I know what you are going through. At times you feel helpless, hopeless and overwhelmed. But you don’t have to go through a divorce alone. I specialize in helping women transition through the emotional aspects of divorce in a process that is completely private and confidential.

I am passionate about helping women lead confident and empowered lives in spite of a painful divorce. I can help you find your way to a happy and productive life.

Couples with Marital Problems
Do you and your partner fight about the same things day after day?
Do you lie in bed wondering if you are in the right relationship?
Do you want it to work out, but don’t see how this can happen?

I help couples learn how to enhance their ability to connect with one another. It is possible to rediscover what attracted you to one another.

Communication is vital to your relationship. We all want to be with someone who “gets it.” I can help you and your partner uncover the issues you have, and build a relationship based on understanding and compromise. You’ll both learn proven ways to break your destructive patterns of behavior and improve your relationship.

People with Depression
After more than 35 years of treating clients suffering from depression, I can teach you the methods and skills you need to break free from the cycle of depression. I know you want to wake up every morning and feel happy and optimistic, ready to live your life in a pleasurable way. I also know that right now that just isn’t possible.

It is common for people with depression to feel so hopeless that they don’t know where to begin. But there are ways out of depression. I help each of my clients with a treatment plan that is specifically tailored to their particular situation. Your plan can be the path that leads you to a life free of depression.
