My approach focuses on addressing immediate symptom relief and current life problems with an emphasis on identifying underlying emotional causes that may be contributing to these difficulties. My practice presumes that understanding psychological conflicts underlying unpleasant negative behaviors and/or emotions will help people gain important understanding into their current problems and, consequently, lead them to make considerable changes in their lives.
I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, or other mood disturbance, psychogenic and psychosomatic challenges. Individuals finding they are struggling with decreased self-esteem, success in personal relationships and/or careers, existential or identity struggles leading to a lack of meaning in their lives.
My work specializes in working with angry youths who have behavioral and/or emotional issues, assisting frustrated parents achieve better understanding, clarity, and confidence about being good-enough parents and disconnected couples (re)establish the relationship they feel’s personally worthwhile and meaningful.
