About me

I bring many years of life experience to my work as a therapist: Knowing the pain and difficulties of maintaining a relationship, working on a career path that sometimes frustrates us, experiencing the stuck feeling of anxiety or depression, feeling the loss of a loved one, speaking different languages and understanding cross-cultural issues, wanting more out of life without knowing exactly what that is. I worked in a lot of different fields - along with my work as a psychotherapist.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

To know that what they are feeling is normal, quite human and that, despite the pain they are in, they are NOT broken.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My ability to listen and personally relate to what the patient is wrestling with

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Individuals, ages 18 to 90, of various cultures with an array of different life experinces.

My treatment methods

Eclectic

I use many different approaches to help people work on their issues. It depends on if the client knows what they want, if they are not sure, if they are in physical discomfort or pain and/or if they just want to lessen or transform anxiety or depression. I want to help people find better balance of all their feelings and/or thoughts.

Thank you Scott! I already feel a sense of relief. I look forward to another discussion! As you can see, I was blessed with the gift of gab (as my granny would say). Yes I have many stories and adventures to tell but will try to keep it focused on helping my wife and as we heal we can approach some of the other items I mentioned. Fortunately they are low on my priorities at the moment! Thank You Dana.
