Life can present a host of challenges, and sometimes it can help to have the support of a skilled professional to help you cope, learn about yourself, and make changes in your life. I provide psychotherapy with these goals in mind. I can help with issues such as:
Healing from traumatic experiences
Eating disorders and body image issues
Grief
Relationship difficulties
Desire for increased self-understanding
Coming out and other LGBT issues
Desire for better communication skills
School and job problems
Family discord
Although these are some of the more common issues that bring people to therapy, this list is by no means all-inclusive. It is also often the case that someone comes to therapy intending to focus on a particular issue and uncovers other issues in the process.
Psychotherapy is a science as well as an art. For decades, psychologists have been researching and writing about therapy's applications and techniques, helping increase its effectiveness. There is also a rich history of knowledge among therapists that there are aspects of therapy that cannot be quantified in a scientific manner. These can be subjective elements such finding a good match between therapist and client. This is the art of therapy, which shares equal importance with the science. Where the science and the art intersect is the space in which therapy can be most effective and fulfilling.
