Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy for Individuals and Couples
As a psychotherapist, I work with individuals, both men and women, and also couples and families. Some come to therapy because of a painful family, relationship, or work situation, or because some life event has triggered a crisis of strong confusing feelings. Others come because the joy or meaning seems to have gone out of life, or maybe because they have reached a creative impasse. Yet others may be caught in a personal paradox or life transition. Whatever brings people in for counseling, there is a need to feel better, to deal with inner or outer conflict, and a desire to grow in understanding and experience.
In couples therapy we deal with communication and intimacy problems, parenting issues, and disappointed expectations and conflicts of daily life. We also work with the dynamics and feelings which arise when there is a new birth, a loss, or a serious illness in the family, and if needed, with the knots and conflicts specific to remarriage and blended families. Having lived and studied in other cultures has helped me work with a variety of cross-cultural and spiritual diversity family issues.
Many of my clients are computer and business people, academics, and professionals who are dealing with achievement pressures, time-stress, job loss, burnout, and often isolation. I also work with artists, writers, musicians and actors struggling with creative blockages.
