The following are other areas I have had distinct experience with in my counseling practice:

• Therapeutic services for teens (and families) transitioning home from residential and/or wilderness treatment programs
• Single parenting
• Trauma (PTSD)
• Divorce issues
• Terminal/chronic illness
• Chronic physical pain
• Child coping with the death of a parent
• Teaching mindfulness meditation practice

 

Experiences with these issues are personal and differ depending on the many possible variables presented.  If your situation 'fits' into any of the above issues you're welcomed to call and discuss in greater detail how I might help you cope with these profoundly difficult, painful, and life changing experiences.

Lastly, I would like to briefly say something about Mindfulness (or the practice of) in psychotherapy.  I have had a mindful meditation practice for almost 15 years and find its benefits to be a great compliment to the therapeutic interaction.  It has been proven to treat stress, anxiety, chronic pain, and relapse of depression.  To learn more please feel free to call.
