"Marriage with NO problems?" I HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR..."What idiot said that?" YOU would be right. "NO PROBLEMS" means NO: Prior separate upbringing experiences, Prior different religious experiences, Prior different sexual experiences, Prior different values in many different topics, Prior different problem resolution skills, Prior unequal education or occupation ideals, Prior Emotional skills in conflict resolution by one or both. SO, DON'T TELL ME TWO PEOPLE WITH ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT IDEAS, IDEALS, VALUES, AND EXPERIENCES in a broad range of traits CAN WALTZ INTO MARRIAGE WITH "NO PROBLEMS".

We are wired to connect with one another. And the nature of pain is that it can cause us to withdraw from those around us, including from ourselves. This is where I try to help; I take the art of listening seriously and recognize that being heard is a part of the therapy process. Experiences with depression, anxiety, relationships, substances and much more all impact & interfere with our ability to connect with others and with being comfortable with ourselves. If this is where you are, please contact me to see if I would be a good fit for you.

Leo Tolstoy wrote, "A successful marriage is not the result of how compatable a couple is, but how successfully they manage their incompatiblity." When people are affected by impressions from painful events, many aspects of their lives are affected, even if events are not consciously remembered. The gentle method of Rapid Resolution Therapy and brain based clinical hypnosis, is effective removing conflicts that have been blocking desired change. This method has been successful in overcoming resentment, anger, guilt, anxiety, panic attacks, nightmares, and much more, thus increasing the possibility of compatability and satisfying relationships.

We often use the words therapy and counseling interchangeably. For some, this works. For others, they need to be different. As a therapist, there are hundreds of helpful practices and therapeutic modalities that we can implement to promote growth and change in an individual. But, for many, the burdens of life are so relentless that they often need something different. This is where counseling begins to separate itself from therapy. A consistent ear to listen, and reliable person to trust in can truly make a major difference in your life. There is power in simple presence.
