*We are in a very challenging period as a culture. The coronavirus has altered the way we interact. As a result, I evaluate each referral as to whether remote work is clinically viable.

Take a moment and take a breath, and settle into your body.

All human beings wish to experience growth of their potential and genuine self. When this fundamental need is frustrated, we can form a false self and feel lost in anxiety and depression. Healing has the opportunity to emerge when we connect with the compassionate support of another person, and internalize this kindness to build an uplifting relationship with oneself. We can take one step at a time to understand and address challenges to help your genuine self shine through. The mantra I live by and utilize in therapy is "Be gentle with yourself."

They may also have the desire to find the "root" cause of their health problems, and/or attempting to heal/bring their body into balance.
