I'm likely to ask how you carry your stress in your body.
I have been working with adults and couples for 40+ years. In my practice, teaching and supervision, I encourage others to become more curious about themselves. For me, therapy is a way of understanding, with you, your present and past experiences, and figuring out, what might make for more pleasure in relationships, greater satisfaction in work and interests, more acceptance of challenges and of our limitations. My style is warm and active. My clients have diverse backgrounds, and orientations. I avoid psychological jargon and giving advice. I give homework to try out changes. An extensive consultation is free.

Are you not feeling like your usual self? Are stress, work, family pressure, relocation and/or life overwhelming you? Is there simply too much going on? Sometimes our brain won't turn off worrying, sometimes it is difficult to get out of bed or get a good night's rest, other times it is tough to buckle down and focus. If you'd like to feel more calm, more relaxed, less upset, and more happy - let's chat. Therapy can help, even if you're not sure how. My approach focuses not just on having fewer negative emotions, but also on experiencing more positive emotions. I see mental health as part of one's overall wellness.
