How I Can Help

My goal is to help you find comfort, confidence, and satisfaction in life. I do this by providing a supportive, safe environment, where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, life events and options. I can help you gain insight into the sources of your problems, make meaning of what you have experienced, make necessary decisions or changes, and learn new and effective coping strategies. I draw on my training, clinical experience and empathy, to help you work through difficult issues, and to help you change problematic patterns.

My Areas of Focus

I offer individual and couples therapy, for adolescents, adults and older adults, dealing with a variety of mental health issues.

Most often I see people with depression, anxiety, anger issues, relationship problems, and stress management issues. I am also especially interested in issues related to:

1. Health: health related emotions, managing illness, improving wellness, stress management, lifestyle modification, pain management, caregiving, etc.
2. Older Adults: phase of life issues for older adults, cognitive decline, independence, caregiving, end of life issues, grief, etc.Special

Services

My background of having moved to the United States from Poland in 1982 makes me a good match for patients struggling with immigration or acculturation issues. I can partially incorporate the Polish or Latvian languages into my therapy work, although I prefer that my clients also speak English.

I’m also happy to provide free presentations to nearby community groups interested in learning about mental health topics.
