I'm interested in collaborating with clients on creative ways to facilitate change.

Every human being at times experiences sadness, anxiety, anger, shame, fear, hopelessness, guilt, uncertainty. But for some, their daily lives are significantly impacted. You may be struggling with your marriage, partnership, children, family, friends, employer, co-workers. Depression and anxiety may cause you to avoid doing the things that matter and/or to choose unhealthy ways of coping. Some struggle with anger issues that result in legal, relationship and/or employment problems. Others have experienced traumatic events as children and/or adults. While pain in life is inevitable, it does not have to take over our lives.

As we live, we write the stories of our lives. Sometimes the pen gets too heavy. Sometimes we don’t know where to start… or how to continue. And then there’s writer’s block, the faltering of the creative process somewhere in our hearts, our minds, our bodies producing disorders and diseases. Maybe you have lost a loved one. Maybe you’re starting a new relationship. Maybe you want a new job. Maybe you just want change. I believe the remedy is in the beliefs/feelings, thoughts, and behaviors fueling the writer’s block or disease, and I am a disease specialist.

We are not all the same - we have had different experiences, thoughts, and relationships. I like to incorporate different styles of therapy and different techniques so that I can give each client the tools that help them the most. I offer potential solutions for each client, so they can see what works best for them. There is no "one size fits all" in therapy. The two of us (or three in couples therapy) work together to find what works to help resolve issues, improve relationships, and reduce distress and suffering.
