People are endlessly fascinating to me -- and everyone has emotional depths to explore. Most of us have problems now and then with relationships, work, family and finding meaning in life. I have 30 years experience helping clients with the hurts and stress of life, including issues of depression, trauma, anxiety, substance abuse and grief. I believe human development doesn't stop with adulthood but continues throughout one's lifetime. We all deserve to have help negotiating life's difficulties. I'm always willing to listen and exchange ideas, and I respect your right to direct our work together in whatever direction is important to you. I have always enjoyed hearing someone's story, getting to know them and being as supportive as I can be. I specialize in the issues of aging: grief (I miss her so much!), caregiver stress (I feel so guilty and resentful!), and managing illness (I'm so scared of losing him!). Generally I use a "mixed bag" of therapeutic techniques tailored to each individual client's needs, since everyone is different. I have a special understanding of how codependency can affect a person's life. Therapy is a complex experience, and what works for one person might not work for another.
