Life and its discontents

I am dedicated to relieving the emotional conflict that is disrupting your life. I focus on how you may combat deep issues that are blocking your path to fullfilment and peace of mind.  Living in a fast-paced and complex world you are faced with many important decisions and constantly adapting to new situations. Depression, stress, tension and many other sensations may cause you to feel overwhelmed and in need of escape.

The symptoms that you experience may be linked to deeper issues regarding the changing circumstances of life. Birth, marriage, divorce, death, all the messiness of who we are is strewn about the time-line of our lives and each event may contribute chaos in an otherwise stable system.   Even the realization of long sought success may upend our delicate dance with others and create unforeseen difficulties. The result can be feelings of anxiety and stress that block positive growth.   The focus of therapy is to construct a solid foundation for change and to initiate healthy development across the lifespan.

 

Need some help?

No doubt that if you are reading this page it is because you are seeking freedom from distress, possibly for yourself or someone close to you. The first thing you should know is that you are not alone. I am here to help and to work with you to resolve critical issues that block the creative expression and the enjoyment of everyday life.

Focusing on your personal growth enriches the process of transition in the life-course, particularly when you feel stuck and need help in moving on with your life.

Creating an alternative future comes about by you and I working in collaboration to assess the problem and to invent a new way of being.
