I have been working with clients for over 15 years. I have extensive experience working with individuals, adolescents, couples and families who desire to enrich their lives through the personal relationships they have with themselves and others.
To be human is to understand that in life "pain is inevitable, suffering is optional." Sadly, most people experience suffering too often in their lives. This suffering takes many forms, such as anxiety, depression, addictions, self hate, emotional disconnection with others, and primarily with ones own self. Exploring the beliefs and meanings we are saddle with from our childhood are the keys to unlocking our suffering. Increasing awareness of these beliefs and meanings are what psychotherapy is all about.
It takes a tremendous amount of courage and strength to reach out for help. Each person has developed a set of beliefs which shape their world. These beliefs influence a person's thoughts, feelings and behaviors. In my work with clients, I focus on increasing people's awareness of their belief systems and identifying the ones that are connected to their suffering. With the end of suffering, a person experiences the possibility for creating the life they truly desire. You will learn concrete tools to practice to make the changes you desire.
I offer a 20-minute complementary phone consultation and would love to talk with you to see if you and I would be a good fit. I look forward to talking with you.
ServicesI work with individuals, couples and families. I also facilitate process groups, the focus of which changes.
Areas that I frequently work with are depression, anxiety, anger management, life transitions, infertility and reproductive issues, relationship difficulties, infidelity, pre-marital counseling, conflict resolution, spirituality, parenting, addictions (eating disorders, substance abuse, gambling, internet addictions), sexuality, personal growth. It is my experience that most "problems" are really symptoms of our underlying belief systems...what we believe we create.
