I believe psychotherapy is a process of discovery through which client and therapist work collaboratively toward resolving issues and concerns. Although I have training and experience working with clients using brief problem-solving and cognitive behavioral therapy approaches, my current work is most informed by psychodynamic theory.  Click here for an article on the merits of psychodynamic therapy.   Adjustment Issues Aging Anxiety Clinical Consultation Cultural Adjustment/ Relocation Issues Depression/Mood Disorders Family Issues Grief and Loss High Tech Work Environments/Issues Illness (acute, chronic, terminal) Life Transitions Marital/Couple Issues Relationship Issues Trauma Wellness and Self-Care Work/Life Balance   Whether you are grappling with a specific problem and needing support to work through it, or struggling with a problematic pattern of how you react or relate in the world, therapy can facilitate solutions, growth and change. The nature of my work as a therapist depends largely on each client’s individual needs. At times my role may be to problem-solve and provide guidance or feedback regarding a specific issue. More often, my role is to help you explore and better understand the complexities and dynamics behind your concerns, so that you have greater freedom and capability in how you respond. One of the most important aspects of therapy -- at times more critical than specific techniques -- is the relationship between therapist and client. The first task of therapy is making sure you feel comfortable with whomever you choose to work. You should be able to discuss anything that concerns you, with certainty that your information will be kept confidential.
