Therapy is a deeply personal experience. What works for one person is not going to work for the next. For those who have tried therapy and not received the results you’ve wanted, keep trying. One therapist, treatment, or modality does not fit everyone. The fact that you are scanning through Psychology Today profiles to find the right fit for you is a small victory in itself. My goal for each client is to figure out what works for you and help create a life worth living.

When you don't feel like yourself anymore. You might find yourself acting almost like a different person: snapping at loved ones, feeling threatened, sleeplessness and nightmares, anxiety or depression...
