  Counseling and Psychotherapy Clients:
Phone contacts are welcome to contact me for a brief discussion. It enables us to gain a sense of each other and if and how I may help.

 You might consider psychotherapy if...

You feel an overwhelming, prolonged sense of helplessness and sadness

Your problems do not seem to get better despite your efforts and help from family and friends.

You are finding it difficult to carry out everyday activities: for example, you are unable to concentrate on assignments at work, and your job performance is suffering as a result.

You worry excessively, expect the worst, or are constantly on edge.

Your actions are harmful to yourself or to others: for instance, you are drinking too much alcohol, abusing drugs, or becoming overly argumentative and aggressive.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative relationship. It provides a supportive environment to talk openly and confidentially about concerns and feelings. Psychotherapists consider maintaining your confidentiality extremely important and will answer your questions regarding those rare circumstances when confidential information must be shared. Psychotherapists apply scientifically validated procedures to help people change their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
