My Approach to Helping

Is your concern taking so much out of you? Are you wanting to make a change and move forward, but feeling stuck? It is often difficult to get a good grasp of your experience when you have a lot on your mind. It can be challenging to be kind and gentle to yourself as well as to your feeling at a time. I believe, increasing awareness and understanding of experience(s) will help you to gain alternative perspectives that would help you to no longer feel stuck and/or afraid.
I often work with everyday people experiencing Depression, Multi-Cultural Issues, Marital/Relationship Issues, Anxiety, Low Self-Esteem, loneliness, Anger, Aging Issues etc. In our sessions, we will explore the meaning of your present and past experiences (e.g., why you feel the way you do.) I believe, you can organize and further understand your experiences through open dialog. We will explore your intellectual/emotional/pre-conscious understanding of your experience. Through this we will explore what is good for you. To make successful and necessary changes, we both need to have openness and honesty. I will make observations, interpretations, and recommendations that assist you to gain a sense of congruence.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I often see male clients who are experiencing depressed mood, anxiety, low self-esteem, low motivation, shyness, and loneliness/isolation. I have noticed that many of my male clients have a lot of feelings but feeling unconformable or not knowing how to effectively express them. I can assist you to attend to your deeply felt experiences, to symbolize them, and to understand them.
