I have extensive experience and expertise working with depression and anxiety, terminal and chronic illness (for both the patients and caregivers), LGBTQ issues, and significant life transitions such as retirement, midlife crisis,
bereavement
, marriage, divorce, and career issues.
My style as a therapist is warm, engaged, conversational, and collaborative. I use a variety of clinically sound therapeutic techniques that are holistically oriented and effective. I believe it's necessary and important to understand the meaning we make of things and to pay close attention to the stories we tell ourselves. Shifting our perception opens up the solutions and possibilities that may have been there all along, but we were in too much pain to see. When emotional pain is relieved, I believe our capacity for healing grows and we have renewed vitality, a sense of peace, and greater clarity.

Each of us may begin psychotherapy for different reasons; an immediate crisis or traumatic experience, painful symptoms of depression, anxiety, loneliness, addictive behaviors, or
grief
. Exploring early life experiences and resolving trauma while addressing the here and now can help you be more engaged with others, make progress towards what you want in life, and experience more ease. Many individuals seek more existential but no less important questions of meaning, identity, sexuality, spirituality, philosophy, gender issues, psychology, politics, and power. All of these are excellent reasons for engaging in depth psychotherapy.

Grief Therapists
Grief and Bereavement is the acute pain that accompanies loss. Because it is a reflection of what we love, it can feel all-encompassing. Grief is not limited to the loss of people, but when it follows the loss of a loved one, it may be compounded by feelings of guilt and confusion, especially if the relationship was a difficult one.
