Individual Counseling

Much of life is about relationships: your relationship with yourself and your relationships with others. Psychotherapy helps you to better understand your emotional and interpersonal life, e.g., the ways that you relate to yourself and to others. This self-understanding can be important for feeling better and for succeeding in both love and work. I treat people who most frequently are experiencing anxiety, depression or relationship issues. 

I bring a thoughtful, warm, and respectful style to my work. The main theoretical orientation from which I work is psychodynamic. This is one of the most common types of psychotherapy. The term refers to the dynamics of the psyche. People often repeat painful, unproductive patterns of thinking, feeling, or behaving. The overall goal of psychodynamic therapy is to bring about improved psychological health through better self-understanding. It helps you to become aware of the inner forces that guide your life including unconscious ways of relating, reacting and behaving. Many people find it to be effective for bringing about lasting changes in important areas of their lives – their behavior, relationships, and sense of self.

Getting started
Please feel free to contact me with questions or if you would like to arrange an initial consultation. I find that the best way to see if I am a good fit for you is to meet in person. After a consultation period of one to three sessions I will make initial treatment recommendations. If your problem is outside my range of experience and expertise, I will help locate a more appropriate treatment source for you.
