Seeking help takes courage & thoughtfulness. You may feel old difficulties have resurfaced or painful events keep reoccurring despite your best efforts to make things better. You may feel frustrated that you are at a place where things improve for a short time but don't stay stable or good for long. Perhaps life has changed for you in unexpected ways and now there is less peace, less joy and more heartache or confusion. Persistent, intense feelings inside yourself or with your partner/spouse/child/family may be too much to bear. An experienced, supportive, well-trained psychologist like myself, can make make an enormous difference.
I work with individual, couples and families. My particular approach is to address the current, immediate difficulty that has prompted your search for help. A crisis or a sudden event or change in your life can be eased in a few sessions. As things stabilize, exploring your unique motivations, desires, and strengths as you move forward in life is vital.
Finding a therapist can be challenging. It takes courage to call a stranger and ask for help. In addition, finding the "right match" in the midst of so many available therapists can be confusing. My website has specific information so that you can determine if we might be a good fit. I can talk by phone for 15 minutes (at no charge) to help you decide.
