As a therapist with over 30 years experience, I focus my practice on life transitions such as divorce, grief/loss, retirement, medical issues, ageism, "empty nest" syndrome and moving. I also assist in helping clients, couples and families struggling with relationships and/or addictions. Once thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are validated, discussed, re-structured, and re-directed, an opportunity for positive transformation, for better physical and emotional health, and for a wonderful quality of life will result.

You deserve to live a happier and healthier life. Together, we can begin to understand your situation, and then create a plan that will address the issues that are causing you stress.

Have you ever experienced an event that completely changed your view of the world? Do you feel afraid, alone and unsure of where to turn? Are you experiencing intrusive thoughts, when you least expect it or even nightmares? Trauma has lasting physical and emotional effects that can leave you tired, jumpy, anxious, feeling ashamed, exposed, insecure and wondering who you can trust. Do you find yourself wondering why you haven't found the love you want in your relationships? Do you believe no matter what you say or do for your significant other, it's never the "right thing" or "good enough"?

​​Choosing to engage in the therapeutic process is the beginning of a journey on the path that you create, often encompassing reflection, discovery, and transformation.

I work with individuals who are struggling with issues that interfere with their overall life satisfaction and level of happiness. My basic optimism that people can change drives my practice philosophy. I recognize that there are motivational factors that interfere with people's readiness for change and therefore see myself as a change agent to help the individuals I work with to become ready and then able to make changes in terms of coping skills, relationship skills, managing mood instability, substance issues, eating disorders and other compulsive behaviors. My years of practice experience and training have prepared me to offer skilled interventions and expertise.

Have you been contemplating seeing a therapist but are not sure it is for you or would be helpful? There are many reasons a person may seek therapy. People usually seek therapy because they are unhappy or dissatisfied with their life and want or need change. Mental health issues, addictions to chemicals or unhealthy lifestyles, family or relationship issues or a general discontent with your life and the choices that are not working anymore are some of the reasons to seek treatment. Therapy is also a perfect addition to a wellness or self improvement and/or self exploration practice.

I see therapy as an endeavor in which you and I work to explore obstacles in the way of your happiness. Painful relationships or critical self-judgments can impair your resiliency and motivation to effect the changes you'd like to see in your life. I can offer you a way to think about yourself, in an environment of trust, which will help you to fully inhabit and direct your life. Depression and anxiety, stress at work and at home can challenge the core of our lives. I will work with you to resolve these issues and achieve your goals.

Have dedicated my life in accompanying people on their voyages of self-exploration to reach inner peace.

Please tune in to my podcast called Awareness Sucks to familiarize yourself with my approach.

Life can throw you off track and finding support can be a way of regaining control. Whether you are struggling in a relationship, worried about your future, or stuck in your past...you deserve to be happy in your present!
