Treatment
Issues:
I work with individuals
and couples on a broad range of issues, helping to develop more effective
tools of communication, as well as relieve conflict and emotional
pain. My style is interactive, non-judgmental, and direct, with great
respect for, and appreciation of, diverse cultural backgrounds and
lifestyles. With past careers involving teaching and the arts, I am
skilled in addressing issues of blocked creativity, which often manifest
as depression and general confusion about one's life and career. I
also help adults who have grown up in alcoholic or abusive environments,
who may be dealing with addictions themselves, as well as an aftermath
of anxiety and fragile self-esteem. Ultimately, I see psychotherapy
as a quest for psychological wholeness and connection, bringing one
closer to one's true purpose, meaning, and self knowledge.

Relationships

Even
the most secure relationships can fall prey to stress and disillusionment
at one time or another. How couples tackle their problems has a lot
to do with how close or safe they feel with each other. Couples therapy
offers a chance to sort out what is going on between you and your
partner in a non-blaming, constructive environment. Using
various interventions, I help you resolve conflicts and improve communication
both at home and in the workplace. In
my work with couples, I look at the current stressors, as well as
underlying issues from families of origin that may be contributing
to the problem. The main emphasis is on re-establishing (or maybe
finding for the first time) that secure attachment that we all seek,
the emotional and physical bond that says, "I am here for you."
Care for
Caretakers:
Being a caretaker
can be draining emotionally. If you are caring for a family member,
or you are a healthcare professional working with seriously ill patients,
psychotherapy can provide a necessary and well-deserved refuge for
healing. I encourage you to come in, learn ways to take care of yourself,
and avoid burnout in this demanding work.
