For individual, couples, adults and teens, the pursuit of ones therapeutic goals is a deeply personal endeavor, one that entails time, effort, occasional discomfort and some expense. I am keenly aware of the burden of trust, inherent in my participation in so intimate and earnest an undertaking, and will apply my clinical judgment, professional acumen, interpersonal skills and 35-years of experience, to discern and address those needs. In doing so, respect for your values, reverence for your individuality and deference to your aspirations, will guide our endeavor, enabling you to attain your goals with dignity and true contentment. ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, PAIN, STRESS are interwoven through mind and body interactions. Emotions can de-/in-crease pain. Pain causes depression, anxiety, digestive, sleep, memory & concentration problems, diminishing functional ability & causing health-damaging stress. Since all physical sensations & emotions occur in the brain, they can be altered & relieved. Personal suffering & bad experiences make one feel sad, afraid, angry &/or isolated. Social withdrawal creates spaces, where negative thoughts grow & bad feelings echo, bouncing around an open mind that should be fulfilled by invigorating life experiences. Emotion are experienced in the present. Memories are the past - Images that can exist without emotion.
