About Me and Psychotherapy
- A lot of the issues that bring my clients to therapy are problems with their emotions: they find themselves caught in their grip, they often feel very uncomfortable as a result and don’t know why they’re feeling what they’re feeling, and they try a lot of (frequently maladaptive) strategies to help them feel less uncomfortable.
- My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I'm also interested in women's issues and assertiveness. I tailor therapy to each individual client, rather than taking a "one size fits all" approach. So, with one person, therapy might focus on solving some current problem or crisis, for another it might be learning stress management techniques, and for another it could be working to resolve issues and trauma from earlier in life. Most often, it's a little, or a lot, of all of these things.
- Your relationship with your therapist is an important part of your transformative process, so I encourage you to find the right person for you by paying attention to your gut feelings and listening to them. However, even in a good working therapeutic relationship, sometimes there are bumps in the road, and I want my clients to feel that they can talk to me if they feel something’s not right between us. Not only am I human, which is to say not perfect, but it turns out that these moments of tension and difficulty can provide really important opportunities for growth and change.
- All that being said, right now I am not taking many new clients.
