Honestly, if you're searching this list because your days and nights are filled with depression, anxiety and uncertainty, you're probably looking for someone like me: experienced, non-judgemental, empathetic and relatively inexpensive. Life is confusing as Hell, sometimes, and a guide- someone who has been down that road- can come in handy. That's what I do. Let's talk.
Depression is largely about our belief that we are powerless to change ourselves or the world. Maybe we tell ourselves that we don't even deserve to be happy because we are so imperfect, or we've done things that seem unforgivable. Let's have a conversation with the part of you that judges so harshly. I'll bet we can arrive at a different outcome.
I've been a Psychotherapist for more than thirty five years, working with individuals, couples and polyamorous relationships, and I've learned a few things I'd like to pass along. I keep my fees relatively low, and am on several employee assistance (but no insurance) panels.

I am, primarily, a Humanistic, Rogerian psychotherapist, and my process, simply put, is helping you become aware of the ways in which your fears and beliefs hinder (or sometimes help) you on your way. With awareness comes the opportunity to change, if you choose.
