Does it seem that no matter what you do it never seems good enough? Or do people seem to disappoint you? Do you try to feel safe, but you can't quite do it? Do you get bored easily, or procrastinate? Does it feel like there's always too much to do? Are you a caregiver who's feeling unappreciated? With loving respect I can help and support you in finding ways to get your needs met, figure out your goals and work toward achieving them, and live a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

I have worked with recovering alcoholic/addicts, co-alcoholics, and children of alcoholic/addicts throughout my career. I've been successful at helping people lessen depression and anxiety, I've helped numerous couples learn the communication skills that can make a difference in relating successfully. I help people feel better about themselves.

I use the Enneagram, a system that helps identify personality types and the tendencies inherent in them extensively in my work. I believe we can't heal what we can't see. I also use cognitive/behavioral approaches. I help people learn what's possible and how to achieve it.
