I work with adults, both younger and older, and specialize in individual therapy. My typical client is a professional busy with the demands of work, love, family, and play. But I have a diverse practice and not everyone fits this label. I work frequently with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family dynamics, and self-esteem issues. A common theme is a feeling of being stuck in negative dynamics that, best efforts to the contrary, keep repeating.
How I work varies with each person, but I always encourage mutual give-and-take, emotional honesty, curiosity, and thoughtful introspection. Humor can play a part too. We explore your characteristic ways of thinking and feeling, which can be buried or hard to locate and may sometimes work against you. This psychodynamic work can be transformational for you.
Feel free to reach out — I’d be happy to talk with you.
