Im interested in your life now. But Ill also help you explore how experiences in your life affect ways you think, feel and behave in the present- both helpfully and not. Building self-awareness in the context of a safe relationship is the key to change. ", " If youre seeking therapy, either for yourself or with a partner, you might be worried to learn that I also work with separating/divorcing couples. Dont worry. If separation is not on your radar (or if youre hoping to avoid it), well work together on the issues you bring. But if youre facing the pain of separation/divorce, I know how to help. "
