Many people experience a deep sense of longing often described as a feeling of emptiness. What we use to fix or fill that emptiness can begin addictive processes like alcoholism, love addiction, and codependency. My approach is to meet that longing with compassion, understanding and love. Often the problem that causes us discomfort is an old way of coping that a part of us believes we need. Together we find the meaning that is generating or keeping the presenting symptom or problem in place and then move to swiftly create positive lasting change.

Positive psychology - the art and science of ... being happy. You will experience as many laughs as tears, as much playfulness as serious contemplation and as much hope for the future as contemplation of the past. We can learn from experience rather than letting a negative past define us. Online therapy or in person at your home offered at your convenience - no waiting and lack of privacy in a traditional office setting. Couples counseling, depression, anxiety and PTSD are my specialties. Fourteen years experience.

Initially, people may feel reluctant to seek out therapy to address their concerns. They may worry that it is a sign of weakness, and that they're the only ones dealing with issues. This is not true, the fact that you're seeking out therapy is a sign of strength and maturity. I am compassionate and laid back, which typically makes it easier for client's to engage in the therapeutic process. I strongly believe in establishing a collaborative relationship with my clients, so that we can discover your concerns, set goals, develop treatment plans, and empower you.
