WelcomeWelcome to the rest of your life! You may be stuck in life and needing a safe, confidential place to share your emotional pain, guilt, doubt, anxiety, or sadness. Your own best effort hasn't helped enough. I offer support, understanding, and guidance to help you develop inner peace and strength. With that, you will be more capable of coping with life's challenges. The rest of your life is waiting for you. Areas of ServiceI provide individual, couples, family, and group therapy for adults, especially adults over the age of 50. I specialize in sadness. I help people with depression, bipolar disorder, seasonal affective disorder, and grief. Judy's Philosophy I holistically view the cognitive, emotional, behavioral, biological, environmental, social, and spiritual components as integrated parts of a person, couple, or family. Personal well being, relationships with others, and general health may improve by resolving the unique combination of problems among those elements. I consider people their own best experts on themselves and work collaboratively with them. I find people do their best but can be stuck in patterns that no longer work for them. Therapy can help develop more effective skills and build inner peace and strength. |
