There are many forms of psychotherapy ("talk therapy"), but in general, it is the process by which a client discusses difficult thoughts or feelings with a professional to gain insight, a new perspective, and resolution to the problem they are seeking to address. Although partners, family, or friends provide us with support in times of need, it is helpful to have an objective professional who helps to explore your thoughts and emotions on a deeper, more meaningful level within a safe and confidential environment to promote positive change.

There are many reasons why people decide to seek psychotherapy - some would like to learn more about themselves while others struggle with longstanding psychological or behavioral issues. Most clients are ordinary people struggling with common issues like depression, relationship problems, or major life changes, like becoming a new parent. Those who enter therapy typically are seeking support and strategies to address specific issues or goals. 

You can either call or email me, and I will ask you a few simple questions about what you are seeking help for. If it seems I can address your concerns, I will schedule an initial consultation for you. Otherwise, I can provide you with referrals.
