Stress presents itself to all of us - children and adults - as we navigate our daily lives. At times the stress can overwhelm our ability to cope and thrive. A therapeutic relationship offers you the opportunity to examine your present situation with someone who will not judge and who has been trained to help. The anxiety, depression, confusion or fear that lies underneath the problem can be identified and explored and skills can be learned, practiced and mastered which can change your relationship to the stress.

Through my observation and work as a psychotherapist, a revised phrase emerged - there is no place like your inner home.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a Thanatologist, and a musician my passion is to serve people struggling with the fears of life threatening illnesses and life altering transitions.

Losses may include job, financial security, health, or relationships. Losses alter our lives and cause us to question the meaning of life, which helps us to re-prioritize what is important.
