I have a flair for helping people effect positive change in their lives. My offices are comfortable safe spaces to talk about difficult things and make tough decisions. The road to emotional wellness can be painful and challenging, so I try very hard to be encouraging and supportive while change is occurring. Hurt, pain and anger do not define who we are; it opens our emotional pathways to inform us of the need and time for change. Depression is usually an indication of the depth of personal disruption, so when it’s appropriate, I offer advice to validate feelings, encourage healing and to dismantle irrational thinking.
I believe depression is anger turned inward with an outward display of behaviors expressing pain felt internally. My approach is ego supportive and expressive therapy, because people seem to feel better when they feel heard and understood. Talking about “stuff” with a therapist seems to confront the inner conflict and turmoil guiding a person's life.
Although, I have twenty-five years’ experience as a psychotherapist, I believe people are in charge of their life and I am their short-term guide; together we make a team. My role is to try to lift the symptoms of depression through guided discussions that promote healthy mind-body attitudes and sure-up skills needed to live an emotionally comfortable life.
