• Depression: feeling "blue," tiredness, trouble with decision-making, hopelessness

• Anxiety and phobias

• Disturbances of eating: a negative or demanding view of one’s body, problematic eating behaviors such as bulimia or anorexia

• Grief and loss over such difficult life events as illness, death of a loved one, relationship breakups

• Establishing healthier attitudes and behaviors in the areas of exercise, weight control, body image, self-care routines

• Substance abuse and other addictive behaviors

• Marital discord/considerations of divorce — therapy can dramatically improve communication, bring hope to troubled relationships, and bring increased peace of mind no matter what the decision two people ultimately make about their relationship

• Unsatisfying sexuality

• Spiritual concerns … developing one’s own faith commitments, wondering about the reality of God, when God feels distant/uncaring/judgmental

• Difficult times with a young family member (I specialize in work with children/adolescents and their families)

• Unhappy at work; career exploration

• Victim of abuse

• Transitions: dating/courtship, choosing or changing a career, giving birth, parenting an adolescent, death of a parent, "empty nest," retirement, etc.
