I treat whole individuals.  I frequently work with people who have experienced difficult life situations such as abuse, death of a close loved one, marital or relationship dissatisfaction, break-ups, or divorce.  My primary role is to help clients identify and remove themselves from patterns that keep them stuck and from living as fully as they wish.  Many of us can identify our struggles by name: anxiety, depression, addiction, or some other name.  Just as important, however, is to know what we are seeking.  This may include greater closeness and intimacy with others, living a richer and more fulfilling life, or to move toward truth, authentic purpose, and meaning. </div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
