Feeling stuck in life? Perhaps you're not even sure what it is that you want? Or, perhaps you know what it is that you want, but you find that something keeps holding you back? Maybe that something is an old habit you want to let go of or a new habit you want to create? Maybe your mind is preoccupied with what happened in the past? Maybe fear and anxiety over what others will think of you? Maybe the need to be "perfect?" Whatever it is that is blocking you, you are ready to get out of the past, out of your head, and into action - moving forward toward living a better life!

Together, we'll explore what your challenges have been historically and find new ways to approach the life (and ultimately, happiness) for which you're looking.

I’m Dennis Pottenger, a marriage and family therapist, and bring to therapy experience guiding clients through dark and sometimes painful places. Over the years I have found that attention to the unconscious enables those who are suffering to transform painful and debilitating conflict, anxiety, depression, or grief into meaning, fulfillment, and greater personal wholeness and authenticity. In psychotherapy sessions I create a safe and welcoming environment, responding to your needs and goals with humanistic, Jungian, psychodynamic, relational, and trauma-informed approaches that are nonjudgmental and non-pathologizing.

Meeting with clients for years, I recognize that many find themselves trapped with shame. Shame causes intense emotional distresses such as depression and anxiety. Likewise, personal life struggles can also become entangled in it. Even talking to a therapist requires a lot of courage because of shame. When we feel stuck, self-criticism and self-doubt compound this feeling of inability. Therapy is not an easy process, and dealing with the discomfort will bring about self-validation and self-respect because of the limitations that shame brings us.

People who see me for the first time are often feeling overwhelmed, confused, depressed or anxious. Some people are unable to sleep, have distressing thoughts, or cannot control troublesome habits and behaviors. Others have have struggled with chronic pain due to injuries or illnesses. Many have endured the stigma of having a major mental illness which created difficulties in daily functioning, mood swings, or poor judgement and distorted thinking. And others have functioned well with significant achievements in their careers, family, and relationships but still feel empty inside, and cannot experience pleasure, meaning, or fulfillment from their lives.
