I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, relationship issues and
bereavement
issues.
My belief regarding therapy is that it takes a strong person to make the decision to seek it; to acknowledge s/he may need some help. I offer a warm,supportive, and interactive environment. My experience in the field of social work is vast and because it exceeds 20 years, I am able to offer assistance in many areas.I believe we all have strengths we may/not be aware of. Therapy often helps a person to be more aware of his/her strengths and often provides an impetus for change.

Life is full of change, both expected and unexpected. Things like marriage, parenting, work, school, adolescence, divorce, illness, and
death
can feel overwhelming. Sometimes a major event can leave one feeling lost. Other times just coping with the day to day is a challenge. My clients often express that they are feeling scattered, anxious, angry, and sad. I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families at different stages of their life-cycles. I specialize in helping them cope with their feelings, as they move through these periods of transition, so they can learn how to be resilient.

Does it feel like you can't get a grip on your emotions? One minute you're stressed to the max, next minute you hit a crushing depression and then to feel so anxious you can't move in any direction.

,
grief
, and trauma.
People struggling with fears, depression, relational problems, especially people who have somehow "lost" themselves tend to experience me as deeply compassionate yet able to target the primary cause(s) of their pain and identify what they may be doing to contribute to the ongoing problems in their lives. A sometimes surprising part of my therapeutic manner is that I am interactive in sessions while maintaining great respect for a person's capacity to direct their own lives and utilize their current pain toward growth of their real self and, hence, an enlivened life.

Together, we can come to terms with avoided emotions, thoughts, and memories that have kept you stuck, transforming anger to assertiveness, fear to self protection,
grief
to acceptance and apathy to passion.
Truth is essential to our mental integrity. Full access to the "truths" embedded in our personal stories and the emotions, beliefs and healthy impulses they engender make us "whole". They form the basis of our identity, resilience, self-worth; our very well being. The problem: our "truths" sometimes appear overwhelmingly painful, disheartening and/or terrifying, particularly if safe/trustworthy people haven't been available to help. In order to cope, real feelings are buried, "looking good" facades created and the past (consciously) ignored. Unfortunately, dissociating these truths creates a life that lacks choice and is instead stubbornly ruled by the past.

Grief Therapists
Grief and Bereavement is the acute pain that accompanies loss. Because it is a reflection of what we love, it can feel all-encompassing. Grief is not limited to the loss of people, but when it follows the loss of a loved one, it may be compounded by feelings of guilt and confusion, especially if the relationship was a difficult one.
