It often comes in waves, presenting us with opportunities to revisit past hurts with a newfound sense of insight and understanding. Life is full of challenges, and it takes courage to navigate them. I like to think of it as sailing through storms that come and go. Some storms are worse than others, but eventually, they pass, leaving us knowing we can get through even the worst of times.

You know something isn’t right in your life and hasn’t been right for a while. You also know that you really don’t like talking about it, but your behaviors are becoming more problematic every day. Maybe you are fighting with loved ones, eating or drinking too much, sleeping too much or not enough, avoiding intimacy with your partner(s). Life just seems hard most days, and relating to others is a challenge. Life can be good, and you deserve the good life.

My style as a therapist can best be described as eclectic, as I draw from a variety of techniques and theoretical orientations. That being said I tend to be highly client centered, which means I assume clients are the authorities about their own systems. In therapy, it's my job to describe what the science of psychology has to offer given the presenting problem and my professional experience in the area. However, it's my clients who get to decide how this information is applicable to their lives. More about my therapeutic orientation can be found on my website: www.reynoldstherapy.com
