When a person goes through a major life change (even a wanted one) or faces adversity, psychotherapy can help in the coping and healing process. I help provide a nurturing environment in which to discuss these, and other, life changes:
- Marriage, divorce, and break-ups
- Pregnancy, birth of a child, adjustment to parenthood
- Discovering or sharing with others one’s sexual orientation
- Bullying
- Transition to college
- Career changes, transition to the work force or to a new job
- Diagnosis of a psychiatric disorder
- Death of a loved one and other losses
I always strive to make sure that you are listened to, understood, and that you are given strategies that can help you the soonest. I provide a positive environment in which you can better understand what is happening and how to feel calmer, more focused, and more hopeful.
I have decades of direct experience in helping people from all backgrounds with a wide variety of life changes. By using solution-oriented, science-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, I give people the knowledge and the tools they need in order to positively navigate life changes. For the last 20 years, I have even trained primary care physicians to better care for their own patients through these difficult situations.
If you are considering counseling or therapy to help with a significant life change, I encourage you to contact me.
