Whilst talking about your present problems can be helpful it is often only a beginning. Over the course of several interviews you may come to recognise a pattern in what you tell me, a pattern of suffering in your life. Psychoanalysis is then a possibility. In the initial phase of the work I will assess whether this longer-term work might be appropriate for you.

They want clarity, coping strategies, and a sense of control over their life. Their goals may include improving relationships, building confidence, managing stress, or living more in line with their values.

I offer after-hours, in-person sessions on weeknights and on Saturdays for both individuals and couples.
If you think things could be better, you're probably right. It's hard to ignore that voice inside us that's looking for the right person to help us take the first steps. For those working through challenges, including but not limited to: depression, anxiety, stress and anger management, relationship difficulties/divorce, major life transitions, trauma, abuse, grief and loss, illness and major injury, it helps to have someone who not only understands your situation, but has both the personal experience with what it takes to get to a place where 'better' is an option, combined with the professional expertise to get you there.

As someone who had a lived experience of anxiety and depression, I understand that little things can easily overwhelm you. Simple things can feel difficult to do and expend massive nervous energy and effort. Which in turn, makes you feel drained and exhausted. Sometimes to feel better and in control, or even to overcome, you need a listening ear, someone to guide and empower you to make decisions, or encouragement to push through. Other times, you might need interventions for your mental health issues, I can certainly help you with that.
