Often times, navigating relationships can be similar to walking through a minefield. The only problem is that most of us tend to step on a few mines. The deep hurt and emotional trauma that each exploding mine causes in our lives is carried into all subsequent relationships we dare to enter. In dealing with the pain of past relationships, many struggle to cope and find solutions to push back against their very real pain; many of these solution cause deep wounds of their own.

Over the years I see that I am very well-suited to work with clients who are experiencing a major life transition. These include changes in relationship status, employment, health, sexual/ gender identity, as well as retirement/aging concerns. While transitions can bring new opportunities, such changes also come with an array of losses, endings and goodbyes. Transitions can generate challenging symptoms, including a sense of grieving, starting over and/or confronting the unknown. Life can lead one to a place where it pushes you to explore your personality and life choices, and make new sense of your life experiences.

Life's transitions can be challenging. Contemplating change requires courage and has the potential to be rewarding. I strive to develop an environment built upon confidentiality and respect. People seek me out for counseling for many reasons, including: Identifying ways to experience more enjoyment and security in life, the challenges of life's transitions, relationship struggles, addressing addictions and other unhealthy lifestyles, depression and anxiety.
