My Approach to Therapy

I specialize in treating anxieties, and feelings of being overwhelmed and stressed in ‘normal’ people like yourself. My practical approaches focus on implementing paths forward for specific problems, as well as addressing generalized angst and emotional distress for which solutions seem elusive. We’ll not just manage symptoms – we’ll challenge assumptions and self-judgments to break old patterns you’ve operated on (perhaps for years), because of past trauma or other experiences. We’ll build new ways of thinking, behaving and responding to your past, present and future challenges. Please call! THERAPY FOCUS On the outside, clients like yourself are stable, purposeful, successful and content. But they quickly express that inside they’re struggling; overwhelmed with feelings of anxiety, stress, frustration and even sadness. Often, there are marital and relationship conflicts. Clients feel stuck in seemingly inescapable patterns, or have specific problems that seem intractable. Then, more issues: job dissatisfaction, marital conflicts (even divorce), or parental child or adolescent challenges – a ‘Polycrisis Syndrome‘. Often clients feel estranged from themselves and family, with goals that seem ambiguous or appear unachievable. Clients want to be heard, validated and acknowledged. I’ll listen. We’ll work together to change that and restore your self-confidence, direction and a strong sense of satisfaction. I offer effective help with problem-solving, marital conflict resolution and reconnection to yourself. I’m a classic psychotherapist, not some A.I.- or minimally experienced internet-social media advisor. My non-judgmental approach balances the need to validate your experiences with the urgency to address and resolve your challenges.
