Mental well-being is absolutely essential to overall wellness! There are highs and lows in life, so conflict and troubles are inevitable. You may be trying to navigate dealing with difficult people, stopping the cycle of unhealthy relationships, or healing from unjust treatment, or growing up in a non-nurturing environment to name a few. In other cases, biological, environmental, or situational factors can contribute to common mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD which impair your ability to think and feel at your best. Being understood and given the necessary tools to navigate these challenges is imperative.

All mental & emotional health rests upon positive self esteem. It is much less likely that a person will become depressed or anxious if they have a positive self-image,... if they believe they have value. Self talk reflects the way we feel about ourselves. If a person's thinking is the same after therapy, as it was before, than nothing was accomplished. Issues, such as low self-esteem, may benefit from a psycho-dynamic approach. That is because the way we think about ourselves starts in early childhood. How we think about ourselves effects everything we do,...every decision we make.

I work with you in a supportive role to identify and change negative or self-defeating behavior patterns. I help you understand why you feel the way you do and suggest new ways to manage stress, relationship problems and low self-esteem. I believe accepting and loving ourselves is a key to having happier relationships and a happier life. We work as a team to help you find new solutions to problems.
