Counseling (psychotherapy) is a unique relationship designed to help you grow as a person. Counseling is often sought for personal growth and at times to treat a specific issue.

I am often asked what kind of counseling I do. The tradition in which I am trained is called psychodynamic and holds that human relationships are essential to the health of an individual. I view the lives of my clients with a sense of wonder and curiosity and I see the counseling process as a relational alliance to further their growth and to explore the nature of their problem(s). During the course of this process we may treat specific symptoms like depression, anxiety, insomnia and relational difficulties. Longer-term therapy can also assist clients in healing from the shadow of post-traumatic stress and sexual trauma. But regardless of whether you seek counseling for a personal problem or personal growth, I always endeavor to treat the whole person.

I hope this description is helpful to you. If you have further questions please email me to arrange for a free consultation. Counseling fees are $80 per session with a sliding scale available. Artists may also apply for the Broken Prophets Fund for additional assistance.
