Life brings challenges and hardships. You may be burdened by insecurities, fears, anger, or resentment. Relationships or work may be unsatisfying. Most likely you have tried to feel better on your own; some things may have helped, but not always fully or lasting. The source of some problems can be identified while other problems are vague and unclear. In the end, you come with your own set of difficulties and life circumstances. I believe psychotherapy enhances our natural tendency to understand ourselves as we strive to realize our hopes and aspirations.
Psychotherapy is about making enduring changes. Our task involves tapping resources, resolving conflicts, and creating avenues for growth. My clients have found me easy-going and insightful. In my 18 years of practice, I have seen what psychotherapy can do to change self-defeating patterns, relieve troubling symptoms, and foster better understanding and self-acceptance.
I have published in peer-related journals on psychotherapy supervision and young adult psychopathology. I work with late teens and adults in individual and couples psychotherapy.
