Fall away from bad habits that drain your energy. Shed the baggage that clutters your life. Embrace new challenges to achieve your treasured goals. As a therapist who personally overcame many bad habits (which led to an 80-pound weight loss), I offer warm, professional counseling to provide the support you need to gain insight into your struggles, overcome roadblocks, and succeed in the important areas of your life.
My specialties include chronic anxiety, childhood abuse, grief, divorce, depression, job loss, chronic pain, healthy weight loss, infertility, and relationship problems. I also focus on pursuing positive goals such as choosing a new career, returning to college, enhancing creativity and realizing your optimal potential.
Check out my website for tips on easing stress, My blog, "Pet Ways to Ease Stress" offers sage advice from prominent members of the pet community with a woof of humor, a purr of insight, a chirp of wisdom and tail wag of fun/

At first, I use empathic listening and motivational interviewing to clarify concerns and set goals (See my website for a brief audio clip of a staged first counseling session). My favorite strategy is to brainstorm new and creative solutions to stubborn problems. From there, I employ CBT to reduce "awfulizing" and IFS to reduce inner conflict.
