About Me

I specialize in treating anxiety and stress in ‘normal’ people like yourself. My clients appear stable and successful, but quickly express they’re struggling – overwhelmed with frustration – even sadness. They tell me life seems persistently harder than a while ago, stuck in seemingly inescapable patterns with difficult problems. Then, more issues: job dissatisfaction, marital communication (even divorce) or parental challenges – a ‘Polycrisis’. Clients want to be heard and validated; I’ll listen. We’ll work together in a positive direction to restore order, enjoyment in life and self-confidence with a strong sense of satisfaction.

My practical approaches focus on designing and implementing paths forward for specific definable problems, as well as your generalized angst. We’ll not just manage symptoms – we’ll also break old patterns you’ve operated on (perhaps for years) because of past trauma or other experiences; we’ll build new ways of thinking, behaving and responding.

I engage carefully to what is happening and we will cooperate on a response. My non-judgmental approach balances the need to validate your experiences with the urgency to address and resolve your challenges. I will help you create the fulfilment you envision.
