  • Problems with self-esteem (such as feeling inadequate or incompetent)

  • Difficulty explaining your needs and feelings

  • Childhood trauma

  • Perfectionism or painful self-criticism

  • Relational conflict at all stages

  • Third Age (60-90)

The meaning we feel in our lives is bound up with our emotions, relationships, and experiences. With sincere determination and encouragement, you can enhance your ability to communicate effectively, develop a facility for introspection, deepen your understanding of your emotional life, and increase your self confidence.  I work with couples and families to reinvigorate your internal landscape by offering professional insight, a sense of humor, and a safe, and supportive environment.

“The goal of psychoanalytic psychotherapy is to loosen the bonds of past experience to create new life possibilities” Jonathan Shedler PhD

I suggest an initial consultation, about 15-20 minutes, to talk about what you looking for and what I can provide plus the business details.  I do not charge for this consultation.
