Are you experiencing a major change in your life that is making you feel depressed or anxious? When we are faced with huge changes such as divorce, separation, illness, job loss or a death of a loved one, our world which seemed safe and predictable becomes anything but that. But like the saying goes: "from crisis comes opportunity".

In my 18 years in private practice psychotherapy, I have facilitated the growth of hundreds of adults, couples, adolescents and families who are experiencing these and other life-shaking challenges and crises. The majority of these people are not experiencing a major psychiatric illness, but are just normal people facing too much change all at once to adapt quickly enough. Through careful empathetic listening, and teaching techniques to better cope with change such as meditation, relaxation and identifying negative thought patterns, my patients begin to experience relief from troubling symptoms and gain access to tools they can use their entire lives. I consider it a great gift to see my patients gain insight into their sources of distress and begin the healing process.
