Clearly, life is full of ups and downs. Lots of surprises, lots of curve balls. Sometimes, a long series of curve balls. We often overlook, however, that each of us responds to life events differently. We think differently, feel differently, and react differently to people, events, and circumstances occurring and existing around us. Accordingly, we suffer differently. In a safe, non-judgmental, empathic environment, I can help you explore how you may be participating in creating your own suffering through negative thought and behavior patterns, and find more effective ways to meet the challenges of life, so that you can lessen your suffering and improve the quality of your life.
I have an extensive experience helping many different people struggling with many different forms of suffering, from depression and anxiety to bi-polar disorder, trauma, substance abuse, and schizophrenia. However, my foremost expertise lies in helping you find your own unique strength and resourcefulness in ending your own suffering. I offer individual, couple, family, and group therapy.
