“The will to be oneself is heroism.” Ortega y Gasset. Coping with depression, anxiety, habits and addictions that undermine your life, relationships that cause more pain than joy--these are the challenges that I have helped people overcome for over 40 years. Sometimes these problems are rooted in the ways you adapted to a difficult childhood. Sometimes their solutions depend on skills that you have not yet acquired. In either case, you long to have a place where you feel safe and accepted for who you are, a place where you can freely discuss personal, even shameful issues without recrimination.
In a couple you may struggle to communicate your hurt or your desires to the one you love. You want to be understood and feel closer but hesitate for fear of being hurt further. I provide a neutral ground where each person feels understood and where mutual understanding is fostered.
I have worked with people in recovery since 1974. While the first months are focused on learning to live without reliance on a substance, the focus soon shifts to healing relationships that have gone awry and developing the skills and outlook that have been neglected during those years of using.
