Everyone needs help sometimes. In therapy, we join together to achieve your goals. Many of my clients are working on issues with anxiety and depression brought on by life transitions and past traumas. Together we examine patterns of thinking and behaviors that are no longer serving you. New coping skills help clients tolerate their feelings and improve their interpersonal communication.

For people who have experienced trauma, relationships can be really confusing and triggering. It may feel oddly safer to connect with or attach to those who are "emotionally unavailable" or treat you in a way that leaves you feeling depleted and wanting more - while those who pursue you feel completely mismatched, unattractive or even repulsive. True vulnerability and intimacy is deeply scary, but at the same time, you may want or crave connection, it just doesn't seem to be working out. Do you find yourself wondering, "why the hell is this so hard?!" when you're just trying to find a real connection?
