Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced psychotherapist and existential coach, one who is interested in understanding your unique experience, especially as it relates to the distress and concerns about your human condition. Whether your concern is associated with a specific issue, relationship, physical/psychological set of symptom(s) or in an area of my defined expertise, I am here to facilitate your enhanced understanding within the context of your personal feelings and values. Continuing services are sometimes navigational in nature and/or structured to promote discernment, emotional resilience and a fulfilling lifestyle.
Psychotherapy and coaching can help enhance our insight and improve skills/confidence needed to create solutions to personal challenges. The use of humanistic/existential living principals teaches us to better regulate our reactive patterns to life-changing circumstances and encourages us to make thoughtful, conscious choices that align with personal values.
I recognize and appreciate that differences in how we perceive, think, value and make personal choices are a large part of what makes us authentic human beings. It also contributes to our complex experiences. I look forward to your contact for a free consultation; an opportunity to begin our exploration of your personal concerns and/or circumstances. Richard
