During my 40+ years 0f practice here in Chatham my approach to psychological treatment has come to be informed by a number of modalities -- psychodynamic therapy, family systems therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness meditative practice, and, most of all, by my experience working with the people who have come to me for help. Life is challenging and it is certainly not easy to be a person. We are all born with a profound need for a sense of belonging/connection and of significance/substance. Those yearnings drive us to find fulfilling love and meaningful work, which demands constant effort and exposes us to uncertainty and loss. When losses and disappointments come in the realms of love and work and health, we are commonly subjected to debilitating, dispiriting feelings of insecurity, anxiety, and depression. If we do not handle these unbidden feelings wisely,, we may become angry in destructive ways, or we may withdraw from our responsibilities and our loves, or seek solace in drinking or drugs, or other escapist distractions that only make our lives and our painful feelings worse.

Enter a peaceful, safe environment where you can gain powerful insights. I'm here to help people look at themselves without judgement. This helps unnecessary stories to gently fall away, revealing their authentic selves, while learning to love and accept who they truly are. One of my specialties is helping to navigate through the struggles of feeling inadequate in life.

Does your child or adolescent struggle with avoiding things that make them uncomfortable? Managing impulses and behavior? Maintaining healthy family and peer relationships? Do you want things to change but you're not sure how they can, or you feel like you've already tried everything? I aim to foster a genuine connection by meeting you and your child where you are with your given challenges. Together we will form a plan so you can confidently make the changes necessary to live your best life. The purpose of therapy is to equip you with tools that work, and leave you feeling capable of using these tools far beyond our time together.

You know that feeling of disconnection between your head and your heart? When you're struggling and know that the feedback you're getting from trusted loved ones is logical, but for some reason it just isn't making you feel better? If you could just "think" or "do" your way out of pain, you probably wouldn't be here. Emotions always show up for good reason - even when they don't seem to fit. God created the spectrum of emotions to be felt, seen, heard, and understood. When we don't have a safe place to explore them, they get ignored, buried, stuck, and confusing, and they can no longer do their job. This creates disconnection.
