| Depression. I work successfully with people who are "feeling down" in a variety of ways, ranging from low self-esteem, lethargy and lack of motivation to seriously contemplating suicide. I focus on the therapeutic relationship and help hurting people to feel understood and not alone. Finding coherence and meaning in our emotions, even painful ones, normally moves us towards improved functioning, personal development, and the ability to turn crises into opportunities. |
| Couples/Relationships. In couples therapy I focus on partners developing communication and listening skills that they then use on their own outside of treatment. I advocate for marriages and many can be genuinely rekindled with good therapy and hard work. When partners decide to divorce, effective counseling helps in avoiding similar mistakes in future relationships and provides important assistance for children of the divorcing parents. |

Spiritually sensitive counseling. Whatever your religious tradition, you can count on my respect for your spiritual journey. I enjoy engaging with clients who have faith commitments as a fundamental part of their worldview. Examining spiritual issues is often an important part of resolving difficulties and growing in new ways. |
| Identity and Purpose. Asking existential questions such as "Who am I?" and "What do I really want in life?" often generates important turning points in life. When a therapist listens carefully, values the person, challenges when needed, and appreciates clients’ strengths and limitations, people often become more clear about who they want to be and what they want to accomplish in life. |
| Children, adolescents and families. I work respectfully and supportively with younger people and their concerned families. |
