"Feeling stuck? Life stress can make you feel down, anxious, angry, defeated, hopeless and helpless. Life stressors and the accompanying emotions can keep you up at night, cause a loss of appetite, and irritability. Ideally, you want to “get over it,” but for some reason, it has been getting worse and affecting you, your relationships with family and friends, and even at work. Then you find yourself wondering, “What’s wrong with me?” "

"Life got you down? Life's demands and expectations in the world today can be very overwhelming, resulting in depression and anxiety. Both greatly influence how we communicate with ourselves and the outside world (spouse/partner, children, co-workers, friends). Seeking support is the first step in recognizing you don't have to "LIFE" alone. Via on-line or face-to-face therapy, we can identify coping skills to gain symptom relief. We will work to gain insight to your patterns of behaviors to make changes so you can feel hopeful and in control of your life again."

"As a psychotherapist and healer for the last twenty years it has been my privilege to offer and provide help and comfort to people in distress. My experiences have taught me that we all struggle to recover from the pains of the past, deal with the challenges of the present and the insecurities of the future, in our efforts to live the best lives that we can. This often seems very difficult if not impossible to accomplish alone. A strong and nurturing therapeutic relationship can be a powerful foundation for dealing with these challenges to personal growth and well-being."

"I believe in the ability of people to heal from difficult events and to make positive changes in their lives. Therapy needs to be a safe place where a client can feel supported in addressing their issues. I have seen how a psychotherapeutic relationship, in combination with other relationships in the client's life, can aid in those processes of healing and self-change. As a therapist I offer insight and other assistance where helpful but the focus remains on the client, the client's experience and the meanings that she/he/they draw from that experience."
