It takes courage to seek help. Whether you are trying to make an important decision, facing a crisis, or in the middle of a major transition in your life, it makes sense to seek counsel. Sometime we’re feeling stuck and isolated while longing for more community and personal growth. Unresolved childhood issues, grief, and/or trauma can negatively impact your understanding of self and your view of others. It can lead to anxiety, depression and negatively affect your ability to develop healthy relationships.

It you're reading this then you're taking the first step to getting help with how you're living your life. I find that most people who seek therapy are struggling with some pain or conflict they cannot overcome with the skills and support currently present in their lives.

I work with individuals and couples to help them overcome obstacles in their lives such as unrealized potential, feelings of being overwhelmed or hopeless, relationship troubles, constant stress, and self-destructive behaviors.

On some level, you're in trouble. You're facing it now, and that's the hardest part.

Life problems such as anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts are psychological symptoms that cover the untold and unresolved stories of our lives. Clinical psychology is a way of dealing with these problems by talking about them. I offer Counseling Strategies that help you to adjust and adapt to difficult situations and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Strategies that help you to understand yourself and your role in relation to life's problems. Professional counseling and psychotherapy offer perspective, insight and new ways of seeing yourself from which to make better choices and avoid problematic repetitive behavior patterns.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and have been working as a psychotherapist for over 25 years. My orientation is psychodynamic and relational, which means that I view psychotherapy as a collaboration between therapist and client focused on exploring thoughts and feelings as they emerge in the context of a therapeutic relationship. Ultimately, successful psychotherapy may alleviate suffering, increase self-awareness, help one enjoy a broader range of emotional experience, and enhance one's ability to engage more fully in relationships with others.

I have been working with individuals and couples since 1978. I love what I do and I believe my clients know it. I also believe they feel the respect I have for them. I know it takes courage to ask for help, especially when feeling vulnerable. All of us, at some point, experience painful life circumstances or relationship difficulties--usually accompanied by symptoms of depression and/or anxiety. At times we know our lives are not what they could be, but in spite of all our best efforts we may feel stuck.

I’m eager to help you find new ways to think about your struggles and to embrace your whole self so that you feel up to the challenges of life. I can assist you to develop the awareness to understand why you are stuck, where you became stuck and help you carefully imagine and explore pathways for moving forward, through the pain, struggle, and grief, to a more resilient, forgiving, and enlivened self.

Reaching out for help isn't easy. We're afraid people will judge us if they find out how messed up we really are. We judge ourselves for not being strong enough to fix our own problems in the first place. So we start pretending. We pretend to be happier than we are, more successful than we are, stronger than we are. We get pretty good at it too. So good in fact that the pretending parts begin to take over and the real parts start to fade away. That's where the trouble begins and where I can help.

On the outside, it looks like you have it all. Happy family, nice house, successful career, high achieving kids, lots of friends.

The worry won’t stop. You just keep crying but you don’t know exactly why. You want to have meaning in your life….be happy…joyous even….real joy, not the superficial kind….but you can’t imagine how to get there.

When difficulties emerge, we have a choice, an opportunity. Challenges are part of life and although we navigate most with courage and confidence, there are times we feel powerless and stuck.
