I enjoy helping clients accept and like themselves, organize around strengths, achieve greater emotional presence, think clearly, and let go of shame, guilt and old habits of emotional survival. I believe therapy should lead to better decisions, as well as improved quality of life and relationships.
Life is full of loss. Maybe someone close to you has a died or a significant relationship recently ended. Some loss is expected, and at other times completely out of the what might be anticipated.

Grief is a season without end. It consumes, suffocates, diffuses. It is days of silence. It is unfeeling as a stone. It is raw as a volcano, erupting, tears for hours on end.
