Whether borderline, narcissistic or simply toxic, wounded and self-centered parents create wounded children. And these children grow up without the basics of warmth and kindness, acceptance and encouragement. In order to survive, we adapt to the needs of our demanding parents. That might mean we learn to parent our parent. Or we develop antennae and quickly respond to their changing moods and needs, simultaneously ignoring our own. We hope if we do and say the right thing long enough, then one day they will be strong enough to finally take care of us. But that day may never come.
We can spend our whole life looking for what we didn't get in our childhood. Attract partners who are carbon copies. Perceive other people's innocent remarks as attacking or critical. Maybe we're never quite satisfied with the attention we receive. Or no amount of success is enough.
Therapy is a way to find answers and chart a new course; transcend the past and move forward. My approach is pragmatic and straightforward. I do more than just say, "Um huh," or "How does that make you feel?" I offer acceptance and encouragement, as well as feedback and suggestions.

I have a second master's degree in creative writing, so I understand the daily struggle to create, whether a satisfying meal or a symphony. I once read, "a writer is someone who wrote this morning." But, how? Through action. Befriending fear and writing anyway, word after word.

I was raised by a self-absorbed mother with Narcissist Personality Disorder. (With humor I say she was my first therapy client.) I thoroughly understand when clients share their experiences with their own unavailable parents. Many of my clients present with anxiety issues or panic attacks. Also, I worked for twenty years in San Francisco near the Castro with gay, lesbian and bisexual clients.

We sit and talk. I ask questions and engage with you. I reflect back to you what I hear to make sure I understand your meaning. We have a conversation, an exchange. You describe your experiences and I mention feelings you may have had. I coach you on living in the present moment and paying attention to your thoughts. This will empower you to create more calmness and contentment.
