We all face challenges and stresses that take significant emotional resources and effort to navigate effectively. Often, we are able to cope with our difficulties on our own or with the help of friends or family. Sometimes, however, we face challenges that feel overwhelming and beyond our capacity to manage by ourselves or even with the support of loved ones. At these times a psychotherapist can help in a unique way. Psychotherapy can help us to identify personal tendencies and patterns, and thereby understand how we unwittingly perpetuate certain problems in spite of ourselves.
I have had success working with a wide range of clients. Some wish to address a very specific problem or fear, while others struggle with more general dissatisfaction, anxiety, depression, or difficult life changes. I am committed to meeting your unique needs in an environment where you feel comfortable, understood and supported.
My personal style is warm and nonjudgmental. I see my role of therapist as one of both partner and guide in a process that can be both challenging and tremendously rewarding. I look forward to the opportunity to play a role in your personal growth and would be happy to speak with you about any questions or concerns you may have about beginning therapy.
