My Background and Approach
Hello, I am here to help you understand yourself better and to relieve the pain that comes when relationships are struggling. We often don't know what the pain is about or what causes us to behave the way we do. I can help you with that. Either individually, or with your loved one, I want to work with you to help you build a satisfying, joyful relationship. My theoretical orientation is psychoanalytic and psychodynamic. Simply put, I help you to know your thoughts and feelings that govern your actions so that you are able to enjoy satisfying, honest relationships. As I get to know you and your story, I will help you understand yourself more fully and guide you towards behavior that will benefit your relationships. This may mean learning a new skill, improving communication, managing your emotional reactivity or healing past traumas.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Life's struggles should not be dealt with alone. I am passionate about helping people find their true selves and begin to develop the kind of relationship that brings them peace, joy and connection. We all go through challenging transitions or unexpected loss, such as the loss of a loved one, ending of a marriage, shock and despair of infidelity, empty nest syndrome, retirement, financial crisis, career confusion, unemployment, parenthood, aging parents, the turbulent, complicated stage of adolescence, sexual dissatisfaction, health problems, depression, anxiety, and recovery from trauma. All of these issues interfere with healthy relationships; together we can work to relieve the pain and struggle so you can create the types of relationships you hope for.
