Individuals

Individual psychotherapy is a way for you to learn about yourself, not only in terms of mere information, but also in the form of deeply felt and meaningful knowledge that can help you resolve the problems that brought you to therapy and make your life more rewarding. 

One of the things I’ve learned in working with many different types of people in individual therapy is that no two people are alike—each person requires an individualized approach in order to heal and grow. For this reason, I rely on my own experience as a therapist to help you reach the depth of understanding you’re looking for—one that can only emerge within the context of our work together in a conversation of discovery.
Here Are Some Of The Concerns That I’ve Helped People Overcome Through Individual Therapy…
  • Feelings of loneliness, sadness, anxiety, worry, depression
  • Being unable to form or maintain intimate relationships
  • Difficulty with family and friends
  • Sexual orientation and gender identity issues
  • Professional or career challenges
  • A sense that life itself no longer seems fulfilling or in general does not “feel right”

Couples

Many of the issues couples come to see me with are usually at least in part “caused” by difficulty in communicating, which can lead to a vicious cycle—as the problems become more severe, communication breaks down further, leading to more problems, leading to more difficulty in communicating and on and on.

Just imagine how much easier it would be to solve problems between you and your partner if you could talk to each other in a way that resulted in both of you fully expressing yourselves, feeling fully heard by each other and then achieving a new understanding of your relationship.

Couples counseling creates a safe place where both you and your partner can begin to get your needs and feelings across to each other—including the desire to change—without fear of being attacked or criticized.

​I help couples address their issues productively. We work to achieve successful and thorough communication so that we can turn your conflicts into solutions that make both of you happier and more fulfilled, rather than continuing with arguing that is both useless and damaging.
​People Come To Couples Counseling For Different Reasons…
  • One or both partners may be unsatisfied in the relationship
  • Emotions have become too hot with conflict, or cold with indifference
  • Issues with sexuality or sex life need to be addressed
  • The couple wants to enhance relationship “skills” to further commitment
  • People need help in ending a relationship amicably

Groups 

In group therapy, I work with multiple persons in a group to help them address and resolve issues of relating to one another interpersonally. For some people, group therapy is a more effective mode of psychotherapy than individual therapy and for many others it is a beneficial addition to their own individual therapy.
These Are Some Of The Reasons You Might Choose Group Therapy…
  • You have concerns about your social or intimate relationships. 
  • Insights and discoveries you gained from individual therapy can be further developed in a supportive group setting so you can try them in “real life” action.
  • You want to get more perspective on yourself and you value feedback and insight
