If you are struggling to overcome painful problems or you simply want to develop your potential and live a fuller life, it can be helpful to have a caring, knowledgeable and skillful person to talk to. That is what I offer. I will make sure you feel seen, heard and appreciated as a unique individual in all of your richness and complexity. While I will help you understand the nature and origins of your problems, I will also help you see and use all of your strengths and talents toward making the life you want.
Psychotherapy and life coaching do have some things in common, but they are different in their emphasis and the methods they use. If we work together in psychotherapy, I will help you understand and resolve difficult issues that are getting in the way of feeling good and functioning in your daily life. If you don't have any major issues that are causing significant distress, but you want more joy and satisfaction in your life, then life coaching would be our approach.
If you are not sure which approach is best for you, we can discuss it and decide together.

Do you need help with an addiction?
We can be addicted to many things, such as, alcohol; drugs, cigarettes, gambling, food, sex, and the computer/internet to name a few.
Addictions are often present with other mental health issues, such as depression or anxiety, and can be a way to 'self-medicate'.
While this may provide temporary relief from painful emotions or stressful problems, those emotions and problems usually remain and get worse when we don't deal with them.
Meanwhile our addictions begin to take their own toll on our health, relationships, jobs, and general life.

Do you need help with anxiety?
While fear is a feeling we have about an immediate perceived danger, anxiety is usually a fear about the future.
This may be related to something temporary and specific, like a job interview, or it can be generalized and seem to be about nothing in particular, just a general ongoing feeling of dread.
We all feel some degree of fear and anxiety, but when it becomes severe and ongoing it can disrupt our lives.
If you feel that a qualified Psychotherapist could help you understand some of these issues, please contact me.

Do you need help with an bereavement or grief?
The ensuing feelings can be very painful.
And this on top of all of the things we then must do in order to adapt to our world now that it is different.
We may feel deep grief and sadness, anger, shock, confusion, numbness, despair, or loss of faith.
Without empathy, patience and support or encouragement to move through our feelings, grief can turn into depression or some form of addiction.

We all want to have high self-esteem and feel confident in ourselves, but sometimes we are instead filled with self-doubt and fear.
When we have strong self-esteem and confidence we are willing to take risks, to try new things, to talk to people, and launch projects with optimism.
When we lack confidence all of these things can seem very difficult if not impossible.
Extremely low self-esteem and lack of confidence can be crippling, filling us with wretched feelings about ourselves and our potential.
