No one ever said it (life, relationships, career, school) would be easy but should it be this hard? Taking the first step to explore therapy can be challenging but it can be helpful to obtain support during times of transition or difficulty. If you are still unsure, or even if you are familiar with the therapeutic process, meeting me and getting more information about how I work just takes one session, and a consultation costs you nothing.

Welcome to my Psychology Today page and thank you for your interest. Most of us need help at some point in our lives. There's no need to struggle alone,I can help. My sessions take advantage of the fact that our brains are plastic and can change patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. How do I know this? For twenty years I have helped clients alleviate depression, grief, anxiety and stress, worked through relationship problems, and identified and stopped self-destructive patterns and situations that disrupt daily life.

You carry a smile on your face and present yourself so put together. Behind your smile is a belief that you are not good enough. You find yourself overachieving and striving for the next thing you think will make you feel satisfied and fulfilled. But it's exhausting. You're tired of taking care of everyone's needs except your own, and believing that people will only love you if you behave a certain way or perform a version of you. Your mind is constantly running, wondering if what you said was “weird” or "too much", believing that other people are judging you as harshly as you judge yourself. I know how hard this is.
