Welcome
I provide:
- Couples therapy.
- Short-term individual therapy focused on symptom relief.
- Long-term work focused on personality issues and deeper change.
My goal is to help people heal and move on as quickly as possible, but there is no magic. What at first looks like a simple task of symptom relief can sometimes uncover deeper issues, and deeper change takes time. ”Short-term work” is 12 to 13 sessions. “Long-term work” can last a year or several years.
With twenty-five years of experience, I bring warmth, experience, practical insight and a variety of useful techniques to the consulting room.
I enjoy my work now as much as when I was new to the field, although I now limit my practice to 18 clinical hours a week.
Here are links to the most common issues people bring to my office:
- Couples & Marriage Counseling (including affairs, distancing, fighting)
- Depression (including break-ups, loneliness and isolation)
- Anxiety
- Inner Financial Health (including psychological resistance to dealing with over-spending, changed financial situations, estate planning, and optimizing financial well-being)
- Addiction and Recovery
- Alternative Sexuality (including kink / BDSM, transgender, gay and lesbian)
- Workers and Victims Compensation
- Hypnosis
