If you are facing major problems, you should not go it alone. With some professional help, you can learn to navigate life’s most complex emotions and problems. You can even learn to thrive in new ways, not just survive in all the old ways.
I help people with complex lives, who are struggling with anxiety or grief, to achieve peace. Yes, I specialize in anxiety and grief, but I also work with all sorts of people who are undergoing stressful changes and inner turmoil.
I help people make changes in what they can control: their perceptions, their patterns, and their responses. I also help people let go of what they cannot control, in order to focus on what will help them the most: managing their own body, mind, heart, and spiritual life.
Anxiety is a response to possible changes in the future – the fear of what chaos may come next. Small doses of anxiety can be very useful, but when we get stuck in a state of anxiety, it can be crippling.
Grief is a response to a change from the past – the loss of something of great value. Grief is good. It is a natural, normal healing process, but it is a very unpleasant process.
Both are treatable, and talk therapy is one of the best treatments on the planet. I can help you better manage your inner life, so that you can return to a place of peace inside.
I can hold hope for you and be a helpful companion on your healing journey. I can help you walk through pain toward a better life. I can help you transform your pain into a better way of life.
“If we do not transform our pain, we will most assuredly transmit it — usually to those closest to us.” (Richard Rohr)
