There may be times in your life when you experience difficulties, conflicts, issues, or losses which challenge your capacity to cope effectively and to get through the day. During these times, you may experience anxiety, depression, anger, frustration, helplessness, and even hopelessness. I will work in partnership with you to help you improve your strategies, coping skills, and perspectives for dealing with painful emotions, relationship issues, stressful events, and changes in your life.
For about three decades, I have been working with individuals, couples, and families to help them successfully get through difficult times and to make the changes they need in order to achieve greater fulfillment and happiness in their lives. Call today for a 10 minute consultation and to schedule your first appointment. I'm located in Tampa, close to Carrolwood, Northdale, Lutz, Citrus Park, and Land O' Lakes.

Much of our emotional pain results from the way that we view ourselves, in the context of our situation and our relationships.
Much of that pain can be eliminated or reduced by understanding how our self-defeating attitudes and beliefs, expectations, behavioral choices, and communication with others contribute to that emotional pain, and then making the necessary changes in our thinking and behavior in order to eliminate that pain.
Individual therapy can help you enhance your awareness of how your unrealistic or negative beliefs and thinking patterns about yourself and others undermine the quality of your life.

I work with children from 6 to 18 and their families.
Some of these sessions involve doing individual therapy with the children, some of the sessions involve working with the child and the parent(s) together, and at times I meet with the parent(s) alone.
Our job as parents (or whoever fills that vital role) is to help our child get from Point A (wherever they're at now) to Point B (adulthood).
We generally hope that when our child gets to Point B, he or she is equipped with the qualities and skills to be happy, responsible adults, respectful to themselves and others, and moving in a positive, satisfying, fulfilling, successful direction in their lives.

I've had the honor and privilege of practicing psychotherapy for about 30 years.
I've worked with a broad range of people from a variety of backgrounds, presenting a wide variety of issues.
I believe in the power of people to change when they have the motivation and commitment to do so (not so much when someone else wants them to change).
Outside of my private practice and my family involvement, I enjoy tennis and spending time outdoors hiking, biking and paddling.
I'm actively involved in volunteer work with the Tampa Bay Sierra Club.

The initial visit is mostly about gathering the information I need to understand your current situation, the issues you want to work on, and how your background and history might contribute in both positive and negative ways to your current situation.
Our efforts to make the changes that you hope to make will mostly begin the second visit.
There's no easy answer to that question.
If you've been struggling for a long time with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, or other significant problem, treatment is likely to last relatively longer.
