You want to make progress toward becoming the person you want to be, but you have learned from past efforts that it is important for you to have help. You might want to have a strong sense of self worth and identity, improve the quality of your relationships, gain insight, become more self accepting, and tackle fears and challenges.

Meaningful and lasting changes come from focusing not on symptoms but on relationship we create with ourselves and the interaction with others. With awareness, careful attention, energy, kindness, concern, experience, and training, we discuss difficulties with assertiveness, expression of anger or aggression, separation, abandonment, or rejection, feeling inadequate or incompetent, dealing with authority, getting close to people, and perfectionism.

I bring over fifteen years of experience as a psychotherapist, plus I deeply relate to the pressure and responsibility of changing jobs, moving to new cities, and caring for family.

In our work together, we focus on unrecognized assumptions, and we make a distinction between what you think about and how you do that thinking. I am less concerned with looking for causes to explain what you do and more concerned with discovering patterns in the meanings you make by what you're doing.
