Why Therapy?

People seeking psychotherapy are also ready to make positive changes in their lives, are open to new perspectives, and want to take responsibility for their lives.  

Sometimes people feel stuck in a dissatisfying career, relationship, mood, thought pattern, or a unproductive behavior pattern. People may approach these problems in the same way, each time hoping for different results, only to get increasingly discouraged, frustrated and down on themselves when the results don’t change.

Common issues people bring to therapy include problems with interpersonal relationships, life transition stress for any number of reasons (grief/loss, becoming a newlywed or new parent, dealing with an empty nest or adjusting to retirement. Other concerns include mood issues such as excessive worry or depression, emotional regulation issues like frequent irritation and angry outbursts, unhealthy coping behaviors like sex/drugs/alcohol/media/porn or shopping addictions
