My ideal client is aware that some primary positive feeling has changed. The positive feeling has suddenly, or over time, become negative and painful. Because of this change, he or she may have reluctantly given up on a long term goal, or may be in the midsts of a divorce where there was once loving contentment that has disappeared. Sometimes the pain is so severe that the Client considers ending his or her life. No matter what the circumstance, this Client is longing for relief from the pain. The Client needs a Therapist who can, incrementally over time, help to alleviate the pain and begin a more positive approach to living life.

New insights & experiences foster transformation, yet human beings tend to engage in predictable behavior that is familiar to them. A sudden moment of clarity that puts life into focus can be miraculous, but it’s difficult to see on your own what has been hidden for so long. That’s where I come in. Through a variety of approaches & interventions that are customized to you & your needs, we will move you in the direction of a new way of experiencing yourself & the world. At the end of our time together, it is my hope that you will feel stronger, more grounded, with a deeper understanding of yourself, valuing your mind, body, & spirit.

You've been feeling like your life just wasn’t supposed to go this way… like you were once on solid ground, but now you’re swimming through quicksand. Maybe the pain of infertility or miscarriage has left you feeling completely hopeless...or you're a new mom wondering why no one ever told you how tough it would be. Maybe difficult memories you thought you'd buried long ago are beginning to sabotage your life…or the promising future you were headed for as an athlete, dancer or performing artist seems to have vanished. You feel lost in an overwhelming sea of emotion..things just aren’t working out…something has got to change.

You never know when anxiety will consume you. One moment everything is fine, and out of nowhere anxiety hits you. Overwhelming thoughts flood over you after an argument with your partner. You tell yourself over and over your boss is making work unbearable, and your partner is unsupportive. Time between peace and stress is getting shorter, and you wonder if there’s any way to break free from negative thoughts. It’s affecting every aspect of your life. Work is unfulfilling, your relationship is suffering, and your anxiety is high. Has stress and anxiety become your norm? Do you just keep going hoping for a solution?
