Specialization
My special training and expertise have led to the following
specializations, centered around stress, depression, anx
iety,
and worry. Therapy may be right for you if you have challenges in any
of the following areas.
You can feel better and thrive by addressing:
Stress
- I'm overwhelmed
and having trouble coping.
- I can't sleep; I'm irritable all the time.
- I don't know how to find balance in my life.
Depression
-
I feel low almost all the time.
-
I'm not interested in anything anymore.
-
I don't know if I'm ever going to feel better.
Anxiety
- My mind spins,
and I can't get it to stop.
- I worry so much and can't control it.

- It seems impossible to calm down.
Challenging habits
- I don't have any
confidence in myself; I'm afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing.
- I am resentful about my past and can't let it
go.
- I'm stuck in my relationships, my job, my life.
Awakened living
- What is
spirituality? How can I live an authentic life aligned with my values?
- I want to live in the present, but I don't know
how to sustain it.
- What is my life purpose?
Mid-life and older adults
- I am grieving the
loss of someone I loved.
- As I get older, I'm losing everything that is important to me. I'm depressed.
- My family is in conflict over how to manage our
aging parents.

- I want to forgive before I die.
Chronic and terminal medical illness
- I'm scared,
depressed, and angry.
- There is so much uncertainty in my life; I don't
know how to cope.
- How do I talk with my family about what I am
experiencing?
