Good therapy is meant to help you create a life worth living. Sadly most people are held psychologically hostage by defenses created in an unremembered past. Reactions that once protected us became core beliefs of which we are basically unaware. But these automatic responses can be untangled, understood, losses grieved, and vexing relationships laid to rest. Once we can release the inner child's need to defend or vilify our parents or abusers, we can see them as whole persons, good, bad and indifferent. Trauma is a fundamental part of life here on Earth, but there is nothing from which you can't recover.

Starting therapy can be overwhelming and sometimes frightening, and I want to acknowledge the strength and bravery that it takes to try something new. I offer individual counseling for adults and adolescents (age 13+) with a wide range of presenting issues. I practice using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT is all about creating new ways of handling your life’s problems to engage more fully and freely as you build a meaningful life. When we have a problem, it’s our natural drive to solve it. Most often, this works. However, when it doesn’t, it can leave us feeling lost and powerless to life's challenges.

We are truly living in troubled times, globally and personally. Many of us find ourselves fluctuating between feelings of anxiety and/or depression. At 67 years old, I’ve spent nearly half my life – 35 years – as a Marriage and Family Therapist/Psychotherapist. Adding Hypnotherapy to my practice has been a game changer, and that, along with friends, colleagues, and many clients, I’ve learned ways of managing my thinking and thereby managing my emotions. This is what I do in my private practice and I can help you to do the same.
