As a licensed psychologist, I help clients in individual counseling to gain awareness and understanding of their particular issue. From there options become available and are exercised. Through this process, change is achieved. This process will be different for each individual and each issue. The goal is to reduce distress and to turn things around so you are managing the issue/mood instead of it managing or arresting you. The types of issues I have expertise in are mood (especially anxiety and depression) disorders, relationship issues, self-esteem, grief/loss, family of origin issues, life changes and personal growth.
