Individual Therapy
I help people struggling with depression, anxiety and low self-esteem make the changes they need to feel better and live more happily. We often get stuck in patterns of thinking and behavior that interfere with enjoying our lives and making stronger connections with others. Sometimes we turn to addictive behaviors to cope and self-medicate (sex, drugs, alcohol, gambling, you name it). Some of us always seem to end up in unhappy, unhealthy, or unfulfilling relationships and can’t figure out how to stop repeating these patterns. I’ll work with you to identify the ways you hold yourself back from living more happily and productively. I always work collaboratively and transparently, openly sharing with you my thoughts about your situation and working together to find the best strategies to help. For some, that means a very “here and now” approach with an emphasis on changing current thought patterns and behaviors. For others, it may be more beneficial to take some time to explore the influences of the past as well. For most, it means some combination of the two as well as other approaches such as clinical hypnosis, meditation, and behavioral “homework” assignments.
