Most people who work with me begin when painful experiences of anxiety and depression interfere with their ability to find enjoyment and satisfaction in relationships and professionally. Psychotherapy with me usually begins with a discussion of the concerns, problems, and distress from which you are suffering and seek relief. The goal of this work is to solve the problems, alleviate the distress, and place the concerns in the context of your personal development. Results of this effort often include increased self-awareness, enhanced self-esteem, recognition of unique strengths and potentials, and more positive feelings.
As psychological distress is often a function of relationship difficulties, psychotherapy often focuses on thoughts & feelings about the significant people in one's life, who may include family members, romantic partners, friends, and co-workers.
Appreciation of one's unique circumstances & developmental history makes for a more meaningful therapy experience.
It is most often the case that my clients find relief in the first few weeks of therapy and subsequently continue to work with me in an open-ended manner that may last a few months to a number of years. I am also available evenings and weekends.
