Perhaps this awareness comes as a result of a particular crisis, like losing a job, or ending a relationship.  For other people, it is just a sense that they are not in control of their lives.  Or that they are holding themselves back from enjoying life more fully.  Perhaps they realize that something that happened at some earlier time keeps limiting the quality of life today.

My responsibility as a therapist is to ask what you want therapy to do for you--what you would like to change in your life--to listen and formulate a treatment approach that will meet these needs, whether it means individual, couple, group or family therapy, on either a short-term or long-term basis.

In addition to providing general counseling and psychotherapy for issues such as anxiety, depression and loneliness, I have worked with people seeking help for:

     a Drugging / Drinking         

     a Sexual orientation

     a Relationships / intimacy    

     a Self esteem

     a Phobias                        

     a Job related issues

     a Parenting                       

     a Bereavement  

     a Victims of crime, disasters, accidents, and sexual assault (PTSD)

What you might do in therapy.

= Explore your fears.

= Break down your goals into manageable steps.

= Use your dreams to understand yourself better.

= Explore your spirituality.

= Use your memories to better understand your past.

= Talk about your family history and other individual influences in your life.

What you may get from therapy.

= Learn to take better care of yourself.

= Know what makes your feel good and learn how to have fun.

= Learn how to let others know what you want and need from them.

= Become more aware of your feelings and how they function in your life.
