“The will to be oneself is heroism.” Ortega y Gasset. Coping with depression, anxiety, habits and addictions that undermine your life, relationships that cause more pain than joy--these are the challenges that I have helped people overcome for over 40 years. Sometimes these problems are rooted in the ways you adapted to a difficult childhood. Sometimes their solutions depend on skills that you have not yet acquired. In either case, you long to have a place where you feel safe and accepted for who you are, a place where you can freely discuss personal, even shameful issues without recrimination.

When I work with the pain of depression, anxiety, fear, isolation or trauma, often my clients' inclinations are to resist it, to stuff it, to pretend it's not happening or to judge themselves for these seemingly intrusive feelings. What if these emotions are surfacing because your mind and body wisdom are giving you the signal, through these experiences that your attentiveness and compassion are being requested? I believe that emotions arise to move through and to assist us in growth and well-being. They contain important messages of wholeness. It is a privilege to witness your unique expression as an individual.

Our lives here on earth are a creative experience! At times, we need a place to rest and tend to our inner world. I view the therapeutic process as a brave space to access parts of ourselves that we want to grow and transform. My goal in working with you is to provide a supportive environment that will cultivate an increased awareness of your needs, self-compassion and understanding of who you are becoming.

We work together to develop awareness, response-ability and the making of more satisfying choices. We may focus on relationships, conflicts, effective communication, boundary handling and adequate expression. Issues such as validation, power and control, trust and intimacy, anxiety, abandonment and loss are met as needed. We shift more deeply from who we thought we had to be to the integrity of what we are. We become more capable of handling feelings & behaviors within ourselves & with others.

Even the children of dedicated, responsible parents can develop behavioral or emotional problems as they move through childhood and adolescence. Sometimes the acting out or other worrisome behaviors occur only at home. Other times, the difficulties erupt at school. Or both. Perhaps what you or the school has tried isn't working. You may be blaming yourself even though it is not your fault. At these times, an experienced child therapist can help you and your family get back on track.

I also work extensively with persons suffering with addictions, as well as with their partners and families.
In my practice, I attempt to address suffering: what makes us suffer, how we suffer, and how suffering can be alleviated. I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with life issues and are not afraid to take on the suffering consciously, with my support, in order to transform their lives. I specialize in the treatment of addictions of all kinds, but primarily chemical, co-dependency, sex and romance, and gambling. I also specialize in the treatment of trauma/PTSD, both from current life situations and from childhood experiences.

If your kids would just let you, you would be such a good parent. You’re so tired of fighting with them over getting out of the bath or getting into the bath - and sometimes you lose that fight. Arguing has become the norm. You don’t want to be a drill sergeant, but it would be such a relief if they just did what you asked without turning it into World War III. You want to respect their big feelings, but you also want your littles to respect you. You haven’t found a way out of this cycle and you worry that you’re ruining your kids.

You’re not alone many other people are currently struggling with these same issues. What you do now can and will affect your future.

Navigating life is often challenging for teens & young adults. It is easy to feel lost and overwhelmed by the demands and expectations that are placed on them. However, with the right support this can be an incredibly interesting and exciting time in their lives! I have helped many youth and families find their way and even thrive during this period. Many teens struggle with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, anger-management, family conflict, and traumatic experiences. I focus on improving emotional well-being, enhancing communication with peers and family, and making good decisions regarding relationships and personal safety.

Quite often people are reluctant to admit to having problems. Life is difficult when your problems are long lasting and impair your ability to function adequately in the world ie at work, school or in the home. Life is difficult when you can't seem to maintain satisfying, safe relationships w/others. You may feel that there's something wrong with you or that you just aren't ever going to be able to have the kind of life you want. And it's not for lack of trying. Perhaps you just don't know what to do. All that you have tried to do seems to have failed and left you floundering, frustrated and feeling hopeless.

Are you laying awake at night worrying about how to get your life on track, wondering if you are suffering from a "failure to launch"? Are you feeling depressed by vague feelings of emptiness and boredom that even your personal and professional relationships fail to relieve? Do you feel isolated and awkwardly alone even in the midst of your social interactions? Do you long for deeper self-understanding and for loving relationships that support well-being and purpose in life?

Between my life experience and my years of clinical work, I bring a broad depth of knowledge to my work as a therapist. This helps me to better understand and help my clients with the dilemmas they bring. I combine a non-shaming atmosphere with careful listening, and then bring forth tools and knowledge for them to use in their life outside the therapy room.
