Spring out of Winter Blues by tackling nagging issues that drain your energy. As a therapist who personally overcome many bad habits, which led to a 100-pound sustained weight loss (without medication)— I understand the challenges to making real changes. I offer warm, professional counseling to provide the support you need to gain insight into your struggles, overcome roadblocks, and succeed in the areas of life that matter most.
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, cultivating spiritual growth 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 utilize 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.
