Practice information:

I work with people experiencing difficult problems. Such problems go by many names, and may be new or old, but all share the common trait of stubbornly obstructing our happiness. You might feel depressed, anxious, or stuck, unable to steer toward a more hopeful future. You might struggle with the overwhelming complexity of your life, or feel paralyzed by the choices it presents. You might find yourself caught in recurring patterns, unable to break free despite the hardship they cause. Other problems I commonly work with include:

• Ongoing unease, sense of dread, despair, or lack of fulfillment in one's pursuits and in life​
• Reliving the past, feeling trapped by the past, or struggling with fear, guilt, shame or anger about the past
• Preoccupying negative thoughts, intrusive thoughts, or repetitive thoughts
• Intense or persistent inner critics or outer judges
• Disconnection from other people, such as feeling alone or lonely, detached, unloved or unlovable
• Disconnection from oneself, low self-regard or self-worth, feeling 'lost' or aimless in life​
• Reliance on food, work, shopping, sex or substances for comfort or contentment
• Difficulty asserting oneself, or having one's needs, preferences or desires met or respected.

Whatever they do, however they operate, these problems make life needlessly hard.

Yet despite the hardship they cause, I believe our problems also carry essential insight about what is needed for their resolution. I work with you to reveal these insights, to gather their wisdom, and to transform them into opportunities for greater well-being and engagement with life. Ultimately, I believe that true well-being involves more than just quieting problems: it involves restoring the parts of ourselves that enable us to be full participants in this world we share.
