Psychotherapy with Adults
Some people seek relief from anxiety, panic, bad habits, or depression.  Some battle stress at home or on the job.  Some are coming to terms with past losses.  Others are readying themselves for new challenges.

I can give you strategies for managing anxiety and depression.  I can also help you clarify short- and long-term goals, brainstorming possibilities and gathering information so that you make choices with greater confidence.  You will learn how to set limits with other people comfortably and how to communicate your wants and needs clearly and without embarrassment.  You will also learn guilt-free ways of balancing your needs with those of others—a partner, children, friends, or relatives—who depend on you.

Whatever your situation may be, I will urge you to show yourself the same care and kindness that you would a young child.  Before your body can give you its peak performance, it needs good food, enough sleep, regular exercise, periodic medical checkups, and time to play.  You deserve the best!  Don’t settle for less.

I can show you how to mine your past experiences to meet present challenges and manage stress.  I can also show you how to advocate for yourself with family members, your employer, and other professionals.  I will offer referrals, as the need arises.
