Why Psychotherapy?

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:

Anxiety and depression

Difficult life transitions

Managing stress

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.
