Therapy helps manage the seemingly impossible. Anxiety or sadness. Grief, divorce, major life changes. You may find yourself tearful or angry. Overwhelmed. Lonely or stuck. Longing for an enthusiasm you once had or a partner or companion who feels like home. Maybe you’re hoping for a sense of home within yourself. I have over 30 years’ experience helping children and adults to locate pleasure and satisfaction in their lives. I focus especially on bereavement, chronic illness, divorce & child therapy (particularly primary aged children) but welcome a wide range of concerns—the transitions of mid- & later-life too.
I bring a calm, attuned ear, a sense of humor & a great deal of compassion to my work. With children I use Play Therapy. Always I emphasize insight & the healing power of the relationship. I strive to learn exactly how it feels to be you—so that you feel seen and recognized—and change can begin. I am warm, supportive & always curious.
Time and again, I’ve seen therapy help painful, seemingly hopeless situations give way to something better. While eclectic in my approach, ultimately, I use what works. Whatever you walk in the door with—however we greet each other—that’s where we begin. I never know what arc our journey will take but I know that, by working together, change will come.
