Professional statement
I’m a therapist with over 35 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges in a practical and meaningful way. I specialize in working with clients who feel overwhelmed by stress, stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, or ready to create more direction and clarity in their lives.
My approach is solution-focused and goal-oriented. I see therapy as a partnership where we focus on what’s happening in your life right now, while drawing on your past only when it’s helpful for moving forward. I believe strongly that you already have strengths, even if they may not feel accessible at the moment, and part of our work together will be identifying and building on them.
In addition to my clinical work, I’ve spent many years writing and sharing insights through books, articles, and media, all with the goal of helping people better understand themselves and live more intentionally.
