| Life Coaching Many of us find ourselves feeling that we just can't get hold of some aspect of our lives. Life feels out of balance and isn't all we wish it were. It could be writing that novel, seeking that new job, having enough time, getting organized, making new friends, finding that special someone. Coaching might be just what you need to identify what's holding you back and taking the actions to achieve your goal. More about coaching |

| Relationships Whether your relationship is troubled, on the verge of splitting up, has just become boring, or you're frustrated because you can't find that special someone, professional counseling or coaching can help you heal past wounds and recover the love and tenderness that you want. Call for a preliminary phone consultation. More about relationships. |

| Depression People use the term "depression" to describe many feelings. Some are suffering from stressful conditions that leave them feeling helpless. Some are grieving a loss. Some are reacting to situations beyond their control. Some are recovering from surgery or an illness. These are different than suffering from major depressive disorder which is a medical condition. I have the knowledge, skills and tools to help you identify which you have and to help you break free of the grip of your depression. Help is just a phone call away. |
||
| Anxiety and Panic
Attacks Anxiety and panic attacks are self-perpetuating conditions that need prompt, effective intervention. These conditions affect not only the person suffering from them, but those around them. The feeling that things are out of control, the constant worry, the fear that disaster is about to strike saps your strength and energy, preventing you from living life to the fullest. I can help you learn to manage your anxieties while we identify their source and help you recover your emotional balance. A phone call is the first step. |

| Trauma We experience trauma when something unexpected happens that threatens us, causes us not to feel safe, and overwhelms our ability to cope. It could be a traffic accident, abuse as a child or by a spouse, a fire, a humiliating incident, or other experiences that damage our emotional system. Some people find that such a trauma cripples them emotionally, preventing them from fully enjoying life. Others experience flashbacks. Others who think they have succeeded in "getting over it" or blocking it out discover later that the difficulties they are having in their relationships or their job are caused by the aftereffects of traumatic events that occurred years earlier. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is one of the tools I use to help you get past the hurt and damage that is holding you back. More about EMDR and trauma. |

| Addiction Breaking free of the shackles of addiction is tough. Stopping the addictive behavior is only one step on the road to recovery. Uncovering and understanding the triggers that led you to becoming addicted gives you the knowledge, tools and power to prevent you from sliding back into its grip. I use several methods for helping you or your loved one overcome addiction. Call me and we can discuss them. More about internet addiction. |

| Divorce Going through a divorce is an emotional experience, even in the most civil of separations. You need skills and emotional support as you go through the divorce process. If children are involved, we need to not minimize the impact on them. This is a difficult time for all of you. If you feel there is any possibility of working things out, if you want to end the hostility surrounding a break-up,and especially if children are involved, let's give it a try.

| Teens
and children Kids today are growing up in a stressful world. Peer pressure, drugs, getting into the right college, dating, social groups, learning disorders, divorce -- these and more can cause youngsters to "act out" or behave in ways that are not in their best interests, and could be self-damaging. My experience working with youth gives me the ability to break through the defensive barriers most trouble children and teens erect around themselves. More about teens and children |
