I specialize in relationship issues. That means your relationship to yourself, and to others. But it also means I specialize in self esteem. If your sense of self is injured, you may not feel worthy of the kind of life you long to live. You may end up in relationships that need help, or no relationship at all. And that can all contribute to anxiety, depression, and unhelpful ways of trying to soothe the pain, instead of getting help to heal the pain. I do a lot of couple's therapy, and a lot of therapy with people who are looking for a life mate. But it all starts with feeling good about yourself.
