My Approach to Helping

I believe that the goal of psychotherapy is to promote insight and nurture change within an individual by exploring and resolving sources of dissatisfaction and conflict within their lives and their relationships so that an improved quality of life can be attained. Furthermore, I believe that psychotherapists and clients are partners in the therapeutic process, and it is my intention to provide services to my clients that will assist them in reaching their goals. The answers are within my clients; my part in the journey is to assist my clients in discovering insights that bring healing and peace into their lives.

More Info About My Practice

Does your relationship feel like it has hit a roadblock? Does it seem like the two of you just donメt talk anymore? Do you find that every time you try to communicate with one another it just turns into one big argument? Are you feeling angry, bitter, resentful or depressed? Are you wondering if you can ever regain the intimacy, love, and trust you once shared? The constant struggles of daily life can take a significant toll on a relationship. You wake up one day with the feeling that the two of you are drifting apart, and realize that you aren't quite sure how you got there. You may have tried to ignore the problems in hopes that they would just disappear or work themselves out. You may have found that even with more time, and different perspectives, the problems just donメt seem to go away, in fact they may be getting worse. The person you once shared so much with now seems to have little interest in being with you or listening to what you have to say. If the issues you are struggling with feel insurmountable and you are worried that your relationship could be over, it may be time to reach out for professional help. I have years of experience helping couples to identify and remove the barriers that contribute to an unfulfilling relationship. Through effective communication, and a commitment to one another, couples can regain the intimacy, love, and trust they once shared. Stop the hurting, and begin the healing by calling me today! 925/922-2775
