I also welcome people working on issues of spirituality and sexuality, helping professionals wanting to deepen their own work or explore questions of vocation, and people wanting to be more effective changemakers in the world. I will venture with you into what is not yet understood, so that we can discover together what is possible.

Being a parent seems harder everyday. After trying everything, nothing seems to work. It feels helpless. Is there anything you can do? If your child seems to be living in other world, where there is no space for you, we need to find a way to reach out. If your child is out of control, leaving the house and/or being aggressive, we need to think what can be done. If your child is cutting, or increasingly more isolated, your influence is very, very important. Call me and let’s explore solutions. Together.

What's important to me is working with others to find meaning in life, to help bring about a greater happiness that's shared. I believe it's possible to do this is we are able to understand ourselves better - we can then understand others and our connections become deeper and more alive.

Whether you are feeling devastated, heartbroken after a pregnancy loss, or exhausted as you are trying to be a mother, partner, employee know that you don't have to travel this road alone. You are more than all the challenges that are weighing you down right now. From my own struggle with pregnancy loss, I learned that the most important part of healing was having someone to talk to who listened and knew what I was feeling without judgment. Let me guide you and be on this journey with you so you can have peace and a more hopeful tomorrow.

Are you wrestling with worries, struggling to break a habit, do you get highly anxious doing things others do with ease? Does anxiety affect your relationships or mood? Do you get caught up in disappointments and hurts that are current or those stuck in the past that repeat in your head? Do you have losses, challenges, disappointments that impact your self-esteem and resliance?

It is my belief that beneficial treatment for all kinds of emotional difficulties lies, most importantly, in my active listening and then,in my offer to teach skill building techniques for problem solving. In this practice of listening and then reflecting back, I can assist you in learning to hear yourself and then, to use your skills to make better decisions. You can do this because you are able to use the newly learned strategies, that allow you to see your choices more clearly. Then, the decisions that you make can be the result of your own insights, not mine.

Anxiety is our least-welcome companion. It holds us back when we try to take a step forward. It stands in the way when we try to connect with others. It convinces us that the world is scary and the safest place is our home. Anxiety wears many masks, but the best defense is learning how to identify it when it pops into our lives and combat it with a variety of techniques you will learn in therapy. Together we can chip away at what holds you back in your life and build strong coping skills that will prepare you for a successful life ahead.

I have spent 30 years helping individuals, couples and families address issues of substance abuse, co-dependency, adult children of substance abuse as well as the many life issues that contributed to these problems. As an expert in these areas, I love nothing more than helping others with these challenges. There is so much more to addiction and recovery than just not using. And even if a person has never used, just being in a dysfunctional family can lead to a lifetime of problems. I recognize the courage needed to reach out for help – and I know that it is worth the risk.

I have helped many teens move beyond their pain and find healthier, freer, more fulfilling lives.

Everyone deals with hardships at some point in their lives. During these times it can be difficult to feel understood, heard, or supported. I am here to support and guide individuals and families in creating positive changes and building upon their strengths. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them make a connection between the way their history, thoughts, emotions, and body sensations impact the way they respond to the world. My intention is also to give my clients an awareness of themselves that will empower them to feel more in control of their lives so that they can achieve personal growth and healing.
