Has a recent life event or transition caused you to feel suddenly unstable? Changes of any kind can leave us feeling lonely, confused, afraid, and vulnerable, especially when one's foundation is shaky. I take great care and interest in helping others achieve stability and growth during periods of change and uncertainty. I regard challenges as critical opportunities for exploration and meaning-making. Through gaining deeper understandings and new perspectives in treatment, my patients have reported feeling lighter, stronger, more focused, more connected to others, and more prepared to embrace life's challenges.

We may also feel isolated as our personal and professional relationships become conflicted. We might be responding to problems never before experienced, or we may lack the knowledge experience and skills to be objective to find a solution. Sometimes we may not have had role models or personal, academic or professional mentors to help guide us through various situations.
