Life is very much like driving a car. We can't only focus on the destination, and we can't stare into the rearview mirror. Either of these actions would cause an accident, and most certainly distract us from our main goal - keeping our eyes on the road! In my practice, I take on the GPS role. The driver and the GPS are a team. This is where therapy is so helpful. The relationship between the client and the therapist is a most powerful one, involving trust and collaboration, whereby the client feels safe and supported.

So many people are coping with diverse issues now, it’s no longer “just” depression and anxiety. These feelings are complicated and exacerbated by health, employment, family and sexuality concerns. Traumas great and small can arise and all are worthy of therapeutic support.

I view counseling as an opportunity to come alongside my clients and partner with them as they journey toward discovering a life of meaning and purpose. Through empathy, humor, and warmth, I aim to create and hold a safe space for my clients to begin the journey inward.

The decision to go to therapy is not an easy one, but it is a courageous step for someone who is having difficulty in some area of their life or in their relationships.

Relationships are complicated and often very stressful and upsetting. I work with people who are grappling to communicate better with the most important people in their lives. Wanting to be heard, understood, supported and loved is human nature. This can sometimes be a challenge without outside, neutral help. Misunderstandings often can get in the way of intimate relationships, leaving each person feeling alone, disillusioned and their actions misconstrued. I see my job as someone who can help navigate these confusing dynamics and openly talk about the possible underlying feelings that led to these behaviors in the first place.

I know the idea of starting therapy may be scary and uncertain, but having someone to talk to who listens may be the first step to a better life. Discussing your current problems or past traumas with a skilled and empathic listener is a way of working through life events or difficult relationships whether at home, work or school. Therapy can help you identify underlying issues or inner conflicts that get in the way of realizing your highest potential and achieving your dreams.

I am a psychotherapist with over 45 years experience treating adults, older children, adolescents and couples. Sometimes people need help with specific problems such as marital discord, parenting, extended family conflicts or navigating life transitions. Persistent concerns such as lowered self-esteem, a pattern of unsuccessful romantic or work relationships, addictions, anxiety, depression and obsessive/compulsive behaviors often benefit from a professional hand. The goal in therapy is to make you aware of the patterns and beliefs that impair your ability to relate successfully with others and improve your self-esteem.

If you are suffering with anxiety and/or depression, or anger issues, you know the pain and distress they can cause in our daily lives. What we overlook is the important scientific understanding that many of these problems are also partly the result of chronic stress, that has affected our brains and minds at some point in our physiological and psychological development, and the various coping styles we have developed to survive within that stressful environment. Scientific studies have shown that these 'coping habits' we developed, can be changed with awareness and training of the workings of our minds.
