At some point in many people's lives, they experience life-shattering events, where their world just seems to fall apart. They experience loss of meaning and often feel isolated in their pain. Depression and/or anxiety paralyze them and they don't know how integrate what has happened into their life story. Sometimes current losses seem to pull up past losses and people find that they are not only dealing with the present but also prior history. They long for someone who has the patience and understanding to hear their story and help them find the path toward hope and healing.

In our ever more complicated, stressed out world we sometimes feel lost, alone and not clear about why life isn't working they way we planned. At these times it is helpful to have a guide to point the way and teach us life affirming skills that can brighten our path. Learning to cope with anger, depression, grief , betrayal, and resentment can be a burden lifted. Let me help you find Life in the Midst of Living. Learn to WAG MORE, BARK LESS!

I work with individuals and couples whose lives have been interrupted by depression, anxiety, mourning , and trauma. Psychotherapy, like pastoral care and psychoanlysis, is "soul work" - self expression in the presence of a trusted friend and guide. In this safe space of the therapeutic relationship, thoughts and feelings, dreams and fantasies, desires and fears are given voice -- loud and clear, and without judgment. Authentic verbal and emotional expression is transformative. As dysfunctional patterns of thought and behavior become clear, as shattered parts of the self are recognized and linked, a new wholeness is achieved which offers the courage to change and the joy of freedom.

My practice serves primarily adults and focuses on those seeking assistance with issues surrounding substance abuse and dependence, LGBTQ issues, divorce, grief and loss , trauma/crisis as well as overall life developmental transitions.

Great question, and after years of self searching and development I too found myself at the crossroad of change and sought therapy, that's life. Regardless the issue, you can work through it and I am here to help you.
