• Persistent problems in relationships, inability to reach personal or professional goals and destructive patterns of behavior are often accompanied by painful, unmanageable feelings. Depression, anxiety, fear, and anger can interfere with a sense of being alive or just being able to function at an optimal level. These experiences are the result of interruptions in the development of the self. Psychotherapy, as I practice it, offers an opportunity to resume self development without past obstacles. New experiences and new solutions to old problems emerge. Psychotherapy promotes a connection and an emotional attachment to a therapist whose main purpose is to create a healing non-judgmental relationship. A relationship which is guided by respect, empathy, another's best interest and careful listening. This allows for an exploration of the connection between the past and the present and produces a deeper knowledge and understanding of one's self and others. The ultimate goal of therapy is healing, and the growth of the self so that there is a new peace and comfort in "being yourself."
