I have nearly 30 years experience and advanced training in helping men and women work through difficulties arising out of depression and/or anxiety which can show up in one's life as:
low self-esteem conflicts in relationships feelings of despondency or hopelessness compulsive and/or addictive problems including sexual addictions somatic issues such as chronic diseases, psychosomatic disturbances, eating disorders, body-image and/or body-dysmorphic tendencies excessive anger ongoing feelings of grief ongoing feelings of fear
The goal of psychotherapy is to help you learn about yourself so you can bring quality reflection to the choices you face. As your therapist I want to create a safe and respectful environment for you to share your concerns as openly as possible. My goal is to help you grow the space inside you for self-respect and compassion. Learning and change are not abstract possibilities, but rather immediate experience. In addition to addressing your concerns about your life circumstances, I orient my attention to the here and now as we work in the room together.
