No one is a stranger to finding a way forward in difficult times. Many of those I work with struggle with issues related to relationships, depression, and/or tragic events. At times, others come for brief, short-term treatment for issues that are not all-consuming, but to improve how they manage these and also use these difficulties to become more fully empowered. Regardless of the specific goals of therapy, our general ideal is to reach healing and wellness as well as for finding meaning and peace.

You deserve a life that feels good. We know that even good relationships can get stuck in unhealthy patterns. Do you find that when you are trying to connect with your partner you end up in a cycle of communication that's not helpful or productive? Do you retreat and silence it until next time? There is always next time… Maybe this time they will understand…we become louder in hopes they see how hurt we are.The more we aren't seen and heard the more resentful we become. The explosions become more significant and the intimacy ceases, now you are just resentful roommates. It doesn't have to be this way.

Clients come to my practice looking to better their lives. They often come with a presenting problem that has brought them in at this specific point in time and they are seeking resolution and relief from that situation. However, in addition to more short-term, symptom relief, many clients come to us hoping to attain a better understanding of themselves from the inside out — from their thoughts to their behaviors. In short, they are trying to increase their awareness and understanding of themselves in an attempt to improve the quality of their relationships and the their lives.

Anxiety is something all of us have experienced, but for some it can be very debilitating. Whether it's worrying about what others think about you, fear of having a panic attack, or engaging in OCD-related rituals, anxiety can be difficult to manage alone. Therapy offers an opportunity to learn about the nature of anxiety - how it impacts our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By developing a deeper understanding we can learn how to cope with anxiety while still pursuing our goals.
