Many adults seek psychotherapy or counseling because their lives are not going the way they want.  They may be dissatisfied with their pattern of relationships or searching for a sense of happiness and fulfillment that they never seem to find.  Through psychotherapy I help my clients gain an understanding of themselves and their history as a way to treat the specific problems that are troublesome on a daily basis and to repair bothersome life-long patterns.  

Clients with the following symptoms often seek my services

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Substance abuse and dependence
• Grief and loss
• Parenting concerns and stress
• Eating disorders
• Body image concerns
• Relationship troubles
• Stress from physical illness

Evaluating the Client

When a client comes for psychotherapy I will make a careful assessment to determine what kind of treatment will be most appropriate and effective for the individual.  If the circumstances are appropriate I might recommend psychodynamic psychotherapy as the preferred treatment. 

This treatment approach is very effective at removing the barriers which prevent someone from moving forward with life goals and finding the happiness they are looking for.
