Are relationship problems, depression, anxiety, or unreasonable fears having too much power over your life?

Are you stuck in unresolved conflict or too many hurt feelings in an important relationship?  Do you feel like you’ve tried everything you can think of to fix things, but nothing is helping enough?  Has communication broken down with an important person in your life?  Often, there is more that can be done to help, if you are willing to work and learn.

Do you find yourself worrying too much, to the point that it interferes with your ability to sleep or function at work or at home?  Have you been experiencing fear or panic at time when there seems to be no good reason for it?  Problems with anxiety and fear can very often be overcome with the proper help plus hard work.

For the past two weeks or longer, have you been feeling sad or empty?  Much less able to feel pleasure or joy in things that normally would please you?  Trouble concentrating?  Sleeping too much or too little?  Eating too much or too little?  Feeling worthless? Even struggling with thoughts of death?  You may be depressed, but you must know:  there is help available.  Studies show that counseling alone for mild or moderate depression is the treatment of choice, while adding medication to the counseling is indicated for severe depression.

I am a very experienced, board-certified clinical psychologist who truly enjoys the process of therapy in changing lives.  In the many years I have been a psychotherapist, I have had the chance to work with people with many different kinds of struggles.  My clients see me as dedicated, persistent, knowledgeable, and caring.  I am committed to finding the best ways available of helping clients who walk through my door, and if I can’t provide a needed service, I pride myself on making appropriate referrals to other sources of help.

For over 30 years, I have worked successfully with people of all ages, from all walks of life, with a wide range of concerns, especially depression, anxiety, divorce issues, relationship problems.  I am Board Certified in Clinical Psychology, and am also a Certified Divorce Mediator and a Collaborative Divorce Coach.

I will work with you to mobilize your strengths and develop ways to work on the challenges in your life.  We will collaborate in setting goals, understanding important issues in your life, removing roadblocks to achieving your goals, and plotting with you to try things you can do in between our sessions to reach your goals.
