I specialize in treating clients with a variety of emotional-social difficulties, including trauma, anxiety, and recovering from sexual, physical, or emotional abuse. Psychotherapy is not easily described in general statements. It varies depending on the personalities of the psychologist and client, and the particular problems you are experiencing. There are many different methods I may use to deal with the problems that you hope to address. Together you and I will work on reducing symptoms and enriching your life.
My experience in working with hundreds of clients is that when the client and I come together with a common goal of improvement, treatment leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant reductions in feelings of distress.
