The ancient rationale for psychotherapy in three quotations: 1) ''He who cannot describe the problem will never find the solution to the problem'' - Confucious (551-479 BCE); 2) ''The unexamined life is not livable for a human being'' (paraphrased as, ''The unexamined life is not worth living'') - Socrates, in Plato's ''Apology'' (ca 360 BCE); 3) ''Whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.'' - Patrick Henry (1739-1799)...
I enjoy working with college students. It is so much wiser to try and get hold of whatever issues you are struggling with earlier in life, rather than later, as problems can repeat themselves and really become entrenched, causing you pain and needless suffering. In addition, opening yourself to another person and focusing on what hurts often takes courage. My college age patients are often dealing with relationship changes, a changing sense of personal identity (sexual or in terms of sense of ...
I'm a zen practicing therapist+musician who loves working with people on their journeys to healthier relationships and becoming their most authentic selves. I was raised fundamentalist and spent my childhood learning fire and brimstone theology and memorizing verses from the King James Bible. Needless to say I chose to leave the "sinners in the hands of an angry God" mentality behind when I grew up. The truth is, being hard on ourselves doesn't help us or anyone else. But compassion, love, accep...

Feeling overwhelmed? Flooded with painful emotion? Out of touch with yourself? When we don't have the relational support to help us during times of distress, we tend to find other ways to cope with our suffering or to disconnect altogether. Although these coping strategies may have kept us alive and functioning in the past, they may not be serving our best interests. Therapy can be a place to learn more adaptive ways of coping and to use even difficult experiences to grow as a person. As a psych...
Most of my 25 plus years of practice have been spent working with adolescents and young adults. I have done so within classrooms as a teacher as well as in my office in private practice.

My clients will tell you that they never have to wonder what I am thinking as I am fairly direct in my approach. My experience has been that, tempered with a good sense of ...
