Just because it is hard to do, does not mean it is impossible to achieve
Individual Psychotherapy
You want the best in life. You like to consider yourself bright and self-sufficient. Yet sometimes, even the most self–sufficient can make use of another's neutral and non-judgmental response and observation. That's what I can do for you. Consider me your emotional "wing mate" helping you to navigate your emotional life and come up with solutions.
As a seasoned psychotherapist with decades of experience as a clinician, training and teaching, I am skilled in the language and meaning of emotions and what works. In therapy, I partner with you to examine your emotional landscape.
We will explore what is working and what is not working so well and then come up with a way to "fix it." I work quickly, but deeply, on the roots of extreme unhappiness. High achievers, professionals, executives, academics, and bright clients prefer this approach. I also work with those who have not found success.
Sometimes this may be done solely through talking — a back and forth evaluation of your internal struggles, putting words to feelings to come up with meaning and interpretation. My work is within healthy human developmental concepts to optimize life. I help you to connect successfully to others.
Other times this is done by learning a range of techniques that allow you to better negotiate your chaotic or too-quick reactions to others.
Individual therapy provides a platform to decode your internal problem and then find a way to come up with a solution to optimize your life.
Psychotherapy is unique:
- You get to examine the inner you in complete confidentiality, without judgment
- You get to see where your past may too often intrude into your present life
- You may begin to see that some of your interpersonal difficulties are partially coming from you, and perhaps from someone else
- You see them through your particular lens and perspective
- You get to figure out what is "yours" and what is "the others"
Life may feel like it is heading towards the rocks, even if something is not haunting you from the past, you may need an objective ear to interpret your interactions and responses.
In psychotherapy I will be your partner to struggle with you and to bring a resolution to your problems. Together we will work to help you find clarity and develop solutions so that you can get on with your life and find the joy and happiness that you seek.
At this time due to the covid-19 pandemic, I am offering all individual psychotherapy sessions on a HIPAA-compliant Zoom platform.
Please contact me so we can set up a confidential consultation.
