Life is hard. Sometimes, life can seem unbearable, especially when difficult events like trauma, loss, or relationship conflicts happen and lead to depression and anxiety. During difficult times, you may believe that you have no choice but to suffer in secret, especially with the continuing stigma of mental health issues. However, I want you to know that you don't have to suffer on your own. Seeking therapy can be a daunting and scary process, and finding the right therapist for you can be difficult and confusing.

Life's journey often leads us through unexpected twists and turns, uncovering obstacles that can stir up old wounds we thought we had long passed. In the face of these challenges, it's common to feel overwhelmed, stressed, or weighed down. Relationships, work, and even simple pleasures may start to feel like uphill battles. These difficult periods might seem like impassable roadblocks, and can feel isolating if we don't have a space where we feel comfortable to process our experiences. When we find the right supports we need, these challenging periods can actually lead us to a place of growth, happiness, and renewed peace.

After practicing, studying and teaching psychotherapy for 40 years at the UC San Diego Department of Psychiatry I have integrated many different approaches to helping my patients. The most important aspect of psychotherapy is the relationship formed through an empathic understanding of the core issues and what caused them followed by a plan of action. Therapy is a collaborative process of discovery. Change comes about through understanding oneself better, learning new skills and effective ways of communicating with others. Each person's journey is unique.
