I am problem focused. I help you identify specific emotions you would like to reduce (depression, anger, anxiety or shame) or feelings you want to have more often (satisfaction, confidence, joy). We target behaviors you want to increase or decrease, and situations and people you would like to handle more effectively. I show you how your beliefs about the problems you face largely determine your emotional upset and your self-defeating behavior. Together we modify your beliefs. This allows you to effectively handle difficult situations, perform the way you would like and attain your personal goals. Your thinking about the past, present and future determines how you feel and function.
