Effective counseling for emotional change, self understanding and personal growth
We tend to think about change when we are experiencing painful emotions or when we are struggling with a major decision or conflict. Counseling provides a time, a place and a process for reflecting on who we are and who we are becoming. Self-understanding and change become more conscious and certain.

Do you live with depression?
Are you experiencing chronic anxiety or periodic panic?
Do you have questions about stress - what it is, how to release it?
Do you wonder whether you have ADD or whether it affects your thinking, your planning or your relationships? I regard ADD as a processing style, not a disorder.
Are you coping with divorce?
Are you struggling with a major loss?
Are you dealing with mid-life issues?
Are you struggling with questions of meaning and purpose?
Are you facing a major life decision and want to talk about it?
Do you question whether or how past traumas continue to affect you?
Do you have questions about the meaning of your dreams?
Are you interested in the dialogue between the conscious mind and the unconscious?
Do you have problems with commitment?
Do you want to find specific solutions for specific problems?
Do you need to air your thoughts and concerns to someone outside of your family, your friends and your business colleagues?
Have you participated in counseling in the past and now want another perspective?
Holistic Counseling
I do not treat problems. I work with each individual to find solutions that work for them. Each person is unique. Our natures, needs, questions and life circumstances are different. Each of us can sometimes use support in understanding our selves. I provide a supportive and confidential relationship in which private concerns can be addressed.
I work from Jungian and existential perspectives in order to guide greater self understanding. This work often involves dream work and body-centered techniques which are important in releasing anxiety and the physical aspects of stress and trauma.
I also provide solutions-focused coaching for individuals who chose to focus on specific problems or who want supportive coaching through job, career or life style decisions.
I work with adults who are 30 years old and over.
