About
You want to make changes in your life. You want to break out of the old patterns and problems that are holding you back. But you're not sure what to do. I can help you access and develop your inner and outer resources to create better relationships and a more satisfying life. With over 41 years experience as a counselor and therapist, I am an effective life-change partner for you. We will work together to understand the root causes of your problems, so you can make real, lasting, and significant changes in the aspects of your life that are making you unhappy.
I work with adult individuals or couples dealing with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, trauma, PTSD, abuse, life transitions, relationship issues, narcissism, bipolar, divorce, work problems, money issues, stress management, grad school stress, and medical problems such as lifestyle affecting overall health, medical fears, & chronic pain or illness.
I am interested in helping you learn about yourself so you can gain control over your own life. I specialize in longer term, deeper work for permanent change. I use a compassionate and respectful approach, believing it best to let you determine the pace and timing of change. I consistently focus on understanding your experience, feelings, and needs.
