Change and personal growth can be painful especially in times of crisis. In your relationships, it may mean worry and confusion wondering what happened to relationships you once enjoyed. This can develop into serious problems like depression, chronic anxiety, anger, and distancing from significant others - or even feeling confused and out-of-touch with ourselves. This affects not only our relationships but also our ability to perform at work or school, and can even cause medical problems.
Feeling 'stuck' in our lives can make us lose sight of our hopes, aspirations, and dreams.
Seeking help can be difficult - we become afraid of others' reactions or unable to talk about difficult emotions. Yet, we depend on the support of others to grow and meet life's challenges. Trusting relationships help us see our own genuine strengths, creativity, and potential for growth.
I work with clients in a way that fosters respect, acceptance, and genuineness. I will work with you to help you build trust, confidence, and satisfaction with yourself so that you may have trust and confidence in your relationships.
For over 20 years I have helped adolescents and adults with personal, career, academic, and relational problems that resulted in feeling “stuck” with anxiety, depression, anger, isolation, or confusion about the direction of their lives. In my experience in community mental health agencies, as a supervisor and instructor at Phillips Graduate University (Chatsworth), and as a therapist for adolescents, I have seen how counseling that is focused on goals, strengths, and capabilities can move clients through periods of “stuckness” or life changes.
Relationships play a vital role in that change.
Through the therapy process, clients have an opportunity to collaborate in a relationship that contributes to growth and better personal relationships by making sense of conscious and unconscious experience, thoughts, and feelings. As an therapist, I am also looking for ways to integrate your creative and expressive abilities into our work. Whether you are interested in art, music, writing, or other forms of creative expression, those experiences help to enrich your life. I believe that therapy contributes to a deeper trust in oneself and trust in one’s ability to meet life’s challenges, resulting in more satisfying and enjoyable relationships.
