The human experience is full of changes and challenges. They manifest in every role we play as individuals, as partners, as family members and within our communities. Often, we possess the skills and tools to move through them without tremendous difficulty, and therefore without outside intervention.


At times, however, we encounter situations in which there appears no viable way forward. It’s not failure. A certain degree of stress, conflict, frustration, fear and uncertainty is unavoidable. When these situations and feelings become insurmountable obstacles that worsen quality of life significantly or render it non-existent, you are not alone. 


As inter-dependent beings we are hard-wired for connection. Our relationships are the foundation upon which purposeful lives can be built. Unfortunately, many don't invest the required time and energy necessary to identify the barriers that block our ability to meaningfully connect with others. Nor do we look inward to examine the barriers that prevent us from experiencing a true connection with ourselves. Even those who do are often presented with another challenge: to practically be and do the things that enable us to actually 'plug in' and experience the kind of life we want.


Challenging emotions and circumstances present in various ways. For this reason I work with a variety of modalities to customize a therapeutic experience for individuals, partners and families that meets people where they are. In session, I employ social work assessment techniques to develop an understanding of the social location and context of those with whom I work. From this basis we are able to create a plan to navigate the path forward and to meet your goals. 


The process can involve, but is not limited to, exploration of: 

  • Core beliefs and values
  • Transforming guilt and shame 
  • Managing anger and resentment 
  • Coping with anxiety and stress
  • Improving communication
  • Developing self-respect and self-esteem
  • Relationships
  • Family of origin
  • Roles and transitions


Tapping into the intrinsic capability we all have to affect change in the quality of our lives is empowering. When we begin to think and act in a way that is congruent with what matters most to us, and forgive ourselves for the unskilled choices we've made along the way, we align our interior world and the results become apparent in all aspects of our lives. 


I implore you to ask yourselves these questions and to be honest with yourself about the answers:


  • Does fear, depression and/or self-doubt determine what you do or don't do?
  • Do you often find yourself feeling overwhelmed and confused?
  • Are you angry and resentful? Or feeling guilty and ashamed?
  • Are your relationships stressed, chaotic, or unfulfilling?


If you've decided that you're ready for change and willing to invest in yourself, I commend you for making it this far. The next move is yours to make. I hope to connect with you soon.
