Individual Therapy

Many people who come to therapy actually function quite well but need to address developmental deficits, self-esteem issues, stress or just personal growth.

I am always saddened when I come across or hear about someone who has suffered for a long time, and perhaps even died, over issues therapy could have helped to heal. 

Anyone can benefit from therapy.  Many people suffer for much longer than necessary because of the perceived stigma of mental illness.  Others feel ashamed for not being able to manage on their own and for needing help, even though we all need help from time to time with various aspects of our lives. 

Certainly, some therapy patients are mentally ill and need help as they would if they were physically ill.  However, many people who come to therapy actually function quite well but need to address developmental deficits, self-esteem issues, stress or just personal growth.  Talking with the right person in the right way helps. 

I have helped many people to improve their lives.  Perhaps you are considering entering therapy for the first time.  Perhaps you are considering trying therapy again.  Either way, I will be happy to talk with you to determine what you want from therapy and to see if we might work well together.  I will answer questions, talk about my role and my approach to therapy and do anything I can to help you with such an important decision.  We can change our lives dramatically for the better when we decide to take responsibility for changing and allow ourselves to access the help that we need.
