Like most people, I have had joy and sadness from life based on choices I made as well as circumstances beyond my control. And, those experiences contribute to who I am as a therapist.
I get help when stressors become overwhelming. Effective therapy can mean the difference between fighting pain or accepting it, suffering endlessly or moving on.
Should you need support and problem solving assistance, I have experience in working with issues such as autism, adoption, infertility, medically fragile children, developmental disabilities, post traumatic stress, complicated grief and loss, relationship conflict, divorce.
All that aside, I am sure you only want to work with someone who has excellent credentials.
