Your day doesn't have to be consumed by critical thoughts of your appearance, what you are or aren’t going to eat, and/or desperately seeking ways of numbing yourself from uncomfortable emotions.

I believe change is possible for everyone. Change happens with support, guidance, wisdom and trust. Healing in the relationship with self, positively impacts our relationships with others. We are all deserving of satisfaction and fulfillment, as well as the opportunity to share it with others. If you are seeking change in your relationships, marriage, self-esteem, mood, satisfaction or behaviors, I can help. With honesty and compassion, I will help you find your satisfaction. Ultimately, the goal of therapy is to no longer need therapy, as that means you are confidently and successfully managing your best life.

Relationships are vital for survival and necessary for growth. Often, however, people experience disconnections from others, which can be a major source of suffering. Although we deeply desire and need emotional connections, many people are reasonably apprehensive about the risks involved in intimacy. As a result, one may keep parts of themselves hidden or silenced. This serves an important protective function, which must be honored and understood with compassionate curiosity. Therapy can offer a safe space to relinquish unproductive patterns and consider new, more balanced and flexible ways of relating.

Individuals who come to see me are often conflicted about an important situation or change in their lives. They may be going through life feeling stuck or in a state of limbo.
