Too often psychotherapy focuses on causality, pathology and cures. However, rather than being "sick" or 'broken", often we are just lost inside ourselves or relationships. Everyone is a unique person with their own story, experience and perspective. The goal of therapy is to achieve a deeper awareness of where we are, to discover internal meaning for our many experiences, and to experience a life worth living. While working towards that awareness, I also feel it important to teach individuals, couples and families the skills needed to cope with the pain and day to day stressors that bring them into therapy.

If you are ready to get better, I am here to help you. Specializing in depression, anxiety and couples therapy, I can help you to better understand yourself. Without even being aware of it, many of us recreate the same destructive patterns in life over and over again. Through the process of therapy, these patterns can be broken and a new and happy you can take hold. But you won't feel better without first understanding what makes you do the things you do.

Do you experience stress/anxiety/panic/uncertainty/difficulty making decisions? Do you often worry about what others think of you/ replay conversations or events long after they have ended? Do you come up with plans that excite you; only to later talk yourself out of their pursuit? Do you look forward to an event, finding that once you are there you cannot wait for it to be over? Does your child experience stomach aches that have no medical basis or become rude when in social situations? Do you find your relationship patterns eerily mimicking those of your childhood? Are you enduring life's experiences rather than enjoying them?

After 20+ years as a therapist, using traditional talk types of therapy, I have found that "EMDR" is the most rapid & comprehensive, form of therapy with lasting results. It allows you to quickly change the heart of the problem, which is typically unresolved feelings from life experiences. Many therapists teach you only to manage symptoms. With EMDR, significant week to week changes are common. Sessions are guided by a "roadmap" which we develop based on your life history. I also do marital and parenting work along with behavioral and psychodynamic therapy. Focusing on spiritual development is available if desired.
