Are you looking for a psychotherapist for professional support and guidance in
I view emotional and psychological challenges as the result of a person's basic temperament and genetics combined with his or her life events and environmental stressors. Starting from early childhood, we learn messages from the people in our lives (particularly our immediate family and caregivers) and our environment. When we encounter difficult situations, we develop strategies that allow us to survive. Often, we continue to use these strategies, even when they no longer work for us. In fact, many of these old lessons and strategies, when continued into adulthood, cause anxiety and depression (and other psychological symptoms) as well as difficulty forming and/or sustaining relationships and coping with the stress of everyday life. Individuals who experience trauma (whether from early abuse and neglect or from later life events that threaten their ability to cope or survive) often benefit especially from types of therapy that focus both on reversing negative messages and on establishing a sense of safety and control in current relationships and environments. In therapy, I work with clients to find mindsets and behaviors that feel "familiar" and "right" but that are incorrect or dysfunctional in their lives today. I help them to find new ways of handling stress that lead to increased life satisfaction and confidence. Some of my clients have gone on to establish meaningful relationships, change jobs or careers, enjoy promotions, seek their dreams, and find peace and tranquility for the first time in their lives. I am a participating provider with many insurance companies. If you do not have health insurance that includes benefits for psychotherapy or a policy that includes a very high deductible, I may be able to work out a fee or payment plan that would allow you to obtain the therapy to meet your goals. If you would like to talk to me about the possibility of setting up an appointment, feel free to contact me. I would be happy to answer your questions in helping you to decide whether I might be the best choice of psychotherapist for helping you to meet your current needs. |
