PSYCHOTHERAPY
“When I was a boy I would see scary things … my mother would say to me: Look for the Helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
– Fred Rogers
Psychotherapy is a process – a creative process we would engage in together to help you find your way through the disappointments, frustrations, obstacles, and emotional sufferings you find yourself dealing with. Psychotherapy allows us to work through these short-term and often long-term patterns of thought and feeling that keep you from moving into the life you want to live.
Becoming aware of these habituated patterns of both behavior and feeling – sometimes over a lifetime and sometimes due to situational events – is a process that is often aided by the attentive listening mind of another. We are often very clear about our sufferings but feel confused about why they feel so insurmountable. Our work together can help to unravel the intricate threads that have become so entangled that we can no longer see the pattern.
Life is challenging. We all have desires and we often find them frustrated by our relationships, our losses, and our sense of failure. Developing a deeper relationship with ourselves and our own minds allows us to feel hope and possibility when we often sense only a place of limitation.
I believe that through the process of psychotherapy one can move into a new relationship to oneself that allows an increased sense of possibility and growth.
I have over 25 years of experience working with the issues most of us encounter at one time or another: anxiety, depression, grief, fear, panic, relational challenges, self-esteem, life transitions, addictions, and the accompanying belief that something is wrong with us.
I work with adults, couples, adolescents, mothers and infants, and family combinations (i.e. mothers and daughters, etc.). I welcome the opportunity to work with you.
