I work exclusively with adults in both individual and group psychotherapy. My primary focus is on relational issues.Over thirty years of practicing psychotherapy have taught me that the cornerstone for happiness and mental health is directly related to a person's capacity to establish and maintain healthy interpersonal relationships. The research on this is pretty impressive. People who have healthy relationships and a supportive network of friends and family have fewer mental health problems like depression and anxiety, live longer, have less physical and emotional illness, and if they become ill, they recover more quickly. Chemistry of Contentment: Our relationships with others have a far reaching impact sending out a cascade of hormones and neurotransmitters that regulate everything from our brains, hearts, and our immune systems, making good relationships feel like vitamins and bad relationships like poisons. Our relationships, for better or worse, regulate us emotionally. Psychotherapy, properly conducted from a relational perspective, can help a person break old patterns of relatedness which are often ingrained, habitual, and unrewarding. It is important to discover how we unknowingly train people to treat us as we have been treated in the past.
