The following are issues I have had the opportunity to work with on a regular basis:  anxiety, self-identity, gender identity, gender support, grief/loss, depression, teen growth and adjustment, sports psychology, assertiveness training, eating disorders, and general life adjustment issues.  

I also enjoy working with couples.  I have had success with pre-marital counseling, reconnecting couples, and helping couples move through the steps of forgiveness.  

Working with families is another area I enjoy.  I am married and have raised two young adults.  I am well aware of the challenges and stressors involved with being a part of a family.  Each family structure is so different.  I find it extremely rewarding when a family trusts me to help them shift their family unit in a way that helps it to run more smoothly.

I have found that incorporating positive psychology into my practice has made a great difference in the outcome of therapy.  Helping clients become aware of their personal strengths, practicing optimism, and practicing gratitude gives them the tools they need to make decisions that lead them to achieve their goals.  

Mindfulness is another area that has helped me guide clients in the right direction.  Unless one concentrates, focuses, and practices mindfulness, s/he goes through daily routines without thinking about what is happening and what decisions need to be made for the best outcome.
