“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” -Carl R. Rogers
I have experience and expertise working with the following issues and more:
- Depression
- Anxiety and phobias
- Grief and loss
- Family or marital conflict
- Divorce and custody issues
- Parenting problems
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Low self-esteem
- Communication issues
- Life transitions
- Religious and spiritual issues
- Personal growth
- Stress
- Career and work issues
You may seek therapy for a problem that is time-limited, such as dealing with a life transition or a problem at work, in which case you might be seeking help to reach an immediate goal. Or, you might seek more extended therapy because you’re experiencing. issues that are problematic or interfere with your daily life. Therapy can help you deal with distressing emotions, develop skills that improve your self-esteem, strengthen your relationships, and heal wounds from the past.
Your therapy takes place in a comfortable office within a confidential relationship with someone who cares about your well-being. As you experience empathy and acceptance within the relationship, you can find the road to greater self-understanding.
Medication
Medication can be helpful as an adjunct to therapy in some situations. In those cases, I can refer you to a medical provider or psychiatrist and collaborate with them in your treatment.
