People seek therapy when their Plan A breaks down. We each have a Plan A: it's everything we learn as kids about life and how to cope with it. We learn it mainly from our families and mainly unconsciously, and it works well enough for a while. But eventually we move out into a larger emotional world and that's when Plan A starts to fail. Anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship problems are symptoms of this failure. Sure, we want relief from these symptoms. But what we really need is a healthier Plan B. My job is to help you create one.
My focus is the idea of control, the secret cause of most emotional problems. My book ("Monkeytraps: Why Everybody Tries to Control Everything and How We Can Stop") describes how overcontrolling our feelings makes us emotionally ill, overcontrolling relationships damages and destroys them, and overcontrolling life in general bankrupts us spiritually.
We're only as healthy as our relationships, especially our relationship to ourselves. I'm a Gestalt therapist, which means I teach people to listen to themselves and integrate what they hear into their lives, work and communication. I work with individuals, couples, families and groups.

Groups
The control group
Current events triggering your control addiction? I bet. Control means being able to exchange the reality we have for the reality we want. Everyone wants that. Yet my work has taught me that (1) chasing control is addictive, (2) this addiction causes most of our emotional problems, (3) it's rooted in our wish to control feelings, and (4) there are much better ways to manage feelings than control. If any any of this rings true to you, you may be interested in the group I'm forming for control addicts. Email me and I'll tell you more.
