Our goals in therapy are always to reduce suffering and increase happiness. Achieving this requires two essential components. First, we need awareness of how our minds work and how to help them heal. I bring that. And second, we need a willingness to look clearly at oneself and to allow new ways of thinking and acting to develop. That is the client's responsibility. Together, our job is to create a space that is open, trusting and full of genuine acceptance of whatever arises. From there it is almost certain that your life will change in welcome ways.
The people I usually work with know that they are stuck and want to change. Change happens when we 1) identify and transform unhealthy ways of thinking and acting in our day to day lives, and 2) get to the root of early life formative experiences. This involves gently allowing important memories to safely arise and receive the healing they deserve.
You're at an important threshold right now. As a wise prophecy says, "This could be a good time." It will be a good time if you find skilled help and engage long enough to experience real improvement. I wish you well in that. I have thirty years of experience in teaching and supporting psychological health that I'd be happy to add to your effort.

My first career was teaching psychology. I've also studied various religious traditions and spiritual paths. When I was in graduate school, I was offered the chance to pursue clinical training and felt I wasn't ready. Now in my 60s, I think a good balance of life experience and clinical expertise.
