Are you going through a difficult or painful change in your life?

Do you:

  • Feel alone or isolated?
  • Struggle with sadness, confusion, anger or fear?
  • Find that friends and family members do not understand how you feel?
  • Have trouble sleeping or getting out of bed in the morning?
  • Are you having trouble concentrating or making decisions?

How Therapy Can Help

Transitions are a normal part of life, but they can trigger deep and unexpected feelings of anxiety or loss.  This can lead to unhealthy coping behaviors and prevent us from moving forward in a healthy way.  We may experience anxiety or depression which interferes with normal functioning and leaves us feeling alone and helpless. Developing new ways of coping, or new ways of looking at values and beliefs, can help us transcend these feelings and  create new opportunities for peace and meaning in our lives.

Throughout my career, I have helped men and women to:

  • Heal emotions and emptiness accompanying a loss.
  • Create a new role and sense of purpose 
  • Cope with long-term or life-threatening illness.
  • Address the unique concerns related to aging.
  • Resolve relationship and parenting conflicts.
  • Overcome the effects of trauma/abuse.
  • Develop effective self-care strategies.
