My approach is very fluid. Each person, or couple who come to me for help are different in their level of need, desire to make changes, commitment to change, ability to self reflect and especially a desire, no matter how well hidden, to heal and love. To truly love yourself is the start to finding fulfillment and a sense of peace in your life. Letting go of whatever has not allowed peace to take hold and develop: shame, self-doubt, rigidity, anger, fear, or guilt will allow for a better sense of self.
Why do we seem to get stuck in our past hurts and received failures and loses? What would we gain by forgiving and letting go? I believe that if we don't let go, we never allow ourselves to grieve. When we allow ourselves to grieve our loses and disappointments, we begin to focus on the present which enables us to be better prepared to move forward.
A wonderful way of looking at your struggle:
An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life...
A fight is going on inside me, he said to the boy.
It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.
One is angry , filled with self doubt and sorrow, regret, guilt, resentment, uncertainty and fear.
The other is joyful, filled with hope, serenity, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too.
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,
Which wolf will win?
The old chief simply replied,
"The one you feed."

My Client Promise
My promise to all who grant me the honor of helping, is to be there for you, every step of your journey. My goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your emotional growth. When you come in, you may not know exactly what your journey will look like, you may even be doubtful that things can change. This is totally normal and understandable. Why? because we sometimes have difficulty knowing what we don't know. If you have struggled with feelings of sadness or doubt, or fear, perhaps you need someone to help show you the way...to cheer you on...point out your strengths and to provide you with tools and techniques to help speed the journey. I have often used the analogy of a bus driver and a passenger. I am the passenger and my client is the driver. I may point out scenery and hazards, even routes along the way, but it will always be the drivers choice to choose their direction. My responsibility to you will be to help you see the road less traveled...to imagine different possibilities.
Please know that I will always do my best.
Areas of Treatment
Depression & Anxiety
Depression and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that more and more of our population may experience at some point in our lives. Though my 23 years in practice, I have seen how these debilitating symptoms of combined, current and past relationship experiences, as well as childhood situations, may grow to levels that can seriously intrude on our day-to-day lives. To help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life requires a different outlook. Less extreme thinking; more flexibility and learning to challenge self defeating thought processing.
Grief and healing
Everyone has felt loss and sadness, and some so overwhelming, one can only manage one moment at a time. Some may get stuck in their sadness and it seems hopeless to overcome. These feelings may even bring your life to a halt. The steps to healing have been clearly outlined by very respected theorists, but because the journey is not simple and because each loss is so very individual, each journey is very different. Talking through your loss may be helpful to finding peace.
Relationships
Relationship counseling. The process is challenging, the solution simple. Some may laugh at this thought. The catalyst is dedication, making the choice to change, unrelenting focus on the changes needed and emotional intelligence, (EI). EI is a very important part of the process. We all have it, but some may need to develop it or bring it out from behind walls of self protection. Relationship counseling can be beneficial to couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship. Couples therapy is a supportive and challenging place to discuss issues and solutions to strengthen your relationship. Depending on each partners willingness to self focus and implement a solution that could very well confront your own beliefs about the problem, the process can lead to a path of improved understanding of yourself, your partner, your children, and bring forth a more loving connection. It is as simply as choosing to love...choosing to stop yelling, and criticizing and begin to listen, expect success and dedicate yourself to change. The most difficult part will be making the decision to stop using behavior/s that guarantee your relationship will not survive.
