Are you having difficulty with unmanageable emotions? Maybe you over-react, doubt your decisions or fear making mistakes. Is anger, anxiety, or low self-esteem getting in the way of working with colleagues, enjoying your partner or meeting someone new?

If you have unresolved emotional conflicts, you may be familiar with these symptoms:

• A sense that you are too tired or “depressed” to make an effort.
• You make comments to yourself like “That sure was a stupid mistake.” “What an idiot!” and “I’m just not good enough.”
• You feel miserable at work or in a relationship, but you’re afraid to change anything because of a “fear of failure.”
• You find a way to undermine or sabotage your efforts.

Using a therapeutic style that is supportive, interactive, and understanding, I have been providing psychological treatment to individuals, and couples for over 25 years. Important areas of my practice include anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. In addition to dealing with the immediate problem or crisis that brings someone to psychotherapy I address underlying issues and psychological conflicts, as well as issues that emerge from career changes, health issues, parenthood, mid-life, separation and divorce.
