At times, life throws obstacles into our paths; some of these obstacles are small and surmountable, while others are large and difficult to overcome without a boost. When you encounter such a barrier, whether it’s related to relationships, work, or something deeper within yourself, counseling can help you to access your ability to produce positive change in your life. Psychological symptoms often represent a collection of learned coping strategies that are no longer serving a useful purpose. Other types of symptoms arise due to biological or hereditary factors that may seem as though they are outside your control. As a psychologist, I comprehend and value this complexity, as well as the unique qualities and strengths of every individual who walks through my door. I believe that psychotherapy should help to alleviate your distressing symptoms and provide the boost you need in order to prevail over current obstacles. On a deeper level, therapy should also foster change in underlying psychological patterns, enabling greater satisfaction, productivity, and a sense of mastery in your work and relationships. |
