When you don't understand where your problems are coming from, and, more importantly, what to do about them, you need to understand that they are coming from places you cannot see or comprehend. That's because they are unconscious, or barely visible. Or if you can see them all too clearly, you cannot find the off switch. Alone, you struggle and struggle; together, we can move forward.
It's not about willpower, it's about understanding how you work and how to develop new perspectives. I have been helping people for over thirty years. I am a graduate of the Universities of Chicago and Minnesota, with MA and PhD degrees, and am a Minnesota Licensed Psychologist. Member of the Clinical Faculty at the University of Minnesota Medical School Department of Psychiatry 2007-2020.
Faculty Member at the Minnesota Psychoanalytic Institute, where I am a Training and Supervising Psychoanalyst.

We work together to make you feel better and function better.
Psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, counseling are all approaches to helping people that differ principally in the depth of their focus.
It is challenging and exciting to confront the problems that have been interfering, to go beyond the noise to the heart of the matter.
Anxiety, depression, relationship issues, adolescent challenges, self-esteem issues, family and marital problems are all amenable to psychotherapeutic action.
The methods are the tried and true methods of all effective psychotherapies: focused, purposeful conversation leading to a deeper understanding and greater clarity about the nature of the misery and a beginning of mastery over the whole apparatus underlying the persistence of the problem.

Now almost all therapy is online therapy.
As the pandemic exploded across the world in early 2020, the therapy world (myself included) discovered what we may have always known; people communicate effectively through the telephone.
We've been doing that for over a hundred years.
And then, when you add moving pictures to the voice, you have the powerful communication system we have today.
And it works, and it works very well indeed.
The audiovideo systems of today enable the therapist and the client (or patient) to communicate complex ideas, thoughts and feelings with sufficient clarity and integrity that both parties are able to understand profound issues at the heart of a person's being.
