Why do people go to therapy? Most often, it is because we are in a crisis of some kind. Although we all find crises painful, they are also opportunities for growth. In fact growth does not occur without discomfort, maybe even pain. Without that challenge, we will not grow. But we must also have support. That’s where therapy comes in. Through support and challenge, something new emerges. We don’t just get through. We grow. We come out the other side greater than we were. I have particular experience in grief, death, and dying (I've done lots of hospice work); coping with life-threatening illness (I am a cancer survivor), anxiety, depression, and disorders involving delusion and mania. I do not work with children. So even in your darkest moments, I hope you will hold the possibility with me that you will not only survive but prosper, not only get through but emerge stronger. I also have forty-five years of experience with meditation, which has proven to be useful to people from all spiritual traditions--and even to those without any spiritual interests at all.
