What is psychotherapy? It's simply a method to process emotions with another person. In life emotions are sometimes a mystery. Why am I anxious? Why am I depressed? How do I feel better about my relationship with my spouse, my kids my parents? It is not an easy journey but it's an important one. I like to be crystal clear with goals and milestones so if you are more interested in real work you can get your hands on then I am the therapist for you.
