Psychotherapy and Workshops
Current workshop offerings:
Finding the right connection with a therapist is the first and most important decision when deciding to start therapy. A safe, confidential and authentic therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of effective therapy.
I hope the following information will be helpful to you in your decision-making process. My office is located in Santa Cruz California and I welcome your call to provide more information.
There are many reasons people seek out therapy. Usually there is some kind of emotional distress that has become too difficult to navigate. This distress can be a result of:
-
grief/sadness/loss
-
difficulties in relationships
-
anxiety/panic
-
depression
-
trauma/PTSD
-
acute or chronic illness
-
work stress
-
life transitions
Whatever the “issue” or “symptom” which brings a person into therapy, these are signals that some part of life is out of balance and in need of attention and healing.
Some people choose to utilize therapy as a path of personal growth. We live in a culture that moves very quickly with an emphasis on Doing rather than Being. The pressures of work and/or family leave little time to reflect on our inner lives and meaning.
The therapy process can be a doorway into a greater sense of well-being, discovery of meaning in the face of difficult life challenges, and to more satisfying and enriching relationships.
I have a number of areas of treatment expertise based on years of advanced study. I invite you to explore my website to learn more about my approach.
