Focused expertise to help you understand yourself more deeply, overcome long-standing challenges, and build lasting emotional well-being with clarity, confidence, and support.
Do you find that you are chronically unhappy? Are you more of a pessimist who tends to find it uncomfortable to be with others? Do you find yourself in self-defeating situations sometimes? Have you been disappointed with not reaching the goals you have for yourself? These are questions we can work to understand for their root causes and then work toward building a better life for yourself.
“Borderline” and “Narcissistic” evoke many ideas and concerns. Perhaps you have been described this way, or you believe you live with someone whose personality is like this. Perhaps your life seems empty, despite trying in many ways to make yourself feel happier or less depressed or anxious. Having published several articles and books on this topic, as well as presenting frequently on these topics, we have the expertise and clinical experience to be of help to you. If you make the commitment to work on these issues, we believe we can work well together to see your life moving in a better direction.
Many young adults today struggle to find their direction in life. They may have finished an undergraduate degree or perhaps dropped out early. Several live at home with their parents, seeming unmotivated and complacent in being unemployed or working at a job well below their abilities. We utilize diagnostic assessment to first understand some of the reasons why individuals seem to be stuck and then consider what treatment recommendations make the most sense.
Do you find yourself feeling a bit “addicted” to pornography, or engage in sexual behaviors that worry you? Have you told yourself you were going to stop, only to be regularly disappointed? Do you fear that if others knew your sexual interests you would feel deeply shamed and rejected? Maybe you thought you understood your sexual orientation but now are not so sure. These are topics that we can understand together in an empathic and caring way. We work to help you find compassion and acceptance within yourself, so that you can work toward building relationships that are satisfying and fulfilling.
Most people enter psychotherapy because of some combination of these problems. These problems make up the concerns of most patients we see, and we have much experience in helping people find the root causes of these problems, as well as greater life satisfaction.
