| Practice Description: |
Are you unhappy in your relationships or work? Are you anxious or depressed?
With over 25 years of experience providing psychotherapy, I will collaborate with you to create a safe space within which to share your thoughts and feelings. We can then work together to uncover, understand and accept your inner feelings and your impact on others, so that you can make new choices in your life.
If problematic patternss, such as perfectionism, angry outbursts, or overeating (for example), contribute to your difficulties, I may suggest behavioral strategies to help you make the changes you seek.
In couples counseling, I facilitate ways of communicating that can alter each person's perception of the other and lead to greater trust, increased intimacy and less anger. Sometimes couples are reluctant to share feelings for fear of harming their relationship, but distancing or arguing may result. I work with couples to share these deeper feelings so that they can feel understood and more connected with each other.
I work with adults from a variety of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.
