Let’s work together to create the life you want. From starting a new job to having a baby to dealing with a divorce—our lives are constantly in flux. Transitions evoke strong emotions and raise big questions. How do I have to change things to make this work? What will have meaning in my life? Who will be there for me? What happens now?
If you’re dealing with a recent change in your life, positive or negative, then you understand the fear and anxiety that comes with it. Imagine experiencing intense emotions and bouncing back quickly rather than getting stuck in the feelings. In our work together, you’ll develop the emotional resilience to weather your storms and celebrate your victories.
During my 30+ years as a therapist, I’ve helped families, couples, teens, and individuals remove the obstacles that keep them from moving forward. I run a widows and widowers group. I’m also the author of How to Survive the Loss of a Parent and an experienced grief counselor. Visit my website to learn more. Or call if you’re ready to schedule a consultation.
