Now accepting new Aetna clients! Being a human can be really hard sometimes. Maybe it’s hard because there’s an area in our lives where we struggle, like in our careers or relationships. Perhaps, we’ve experienced some painful times that we haven’t fully healed from or find ourselves engaging in problematic behaviors. Whatever our struggles, I’ve found that psychotherapy can help reduce our suffering and help connect us to the joy of being alive.

Hi there and welcome! If you’re here, something hasn’t been sitting right. Maybe worry feels unmanageable, intrusive thoughts won’t let up, or you find yourself repeating certain actions to feel okay. You might be feeling persistently down, less interested in things you once loved, or unsure how to make sense of what you’re going through. You’ve likely tried to handle it on your own, but keep finding yourself stuck when it comes to making real change - and you’re not alone in that.

Why do we keep arguing about the same things over and over again? I've tried to forgive you but I can't stop thinking that I would be happier with someone else. I don't know if it's worth the fight anymore. We've grown distant and I don't remember the last time we've experienced real connection, maybe you've never even loved me. I'm insecure and doubtful that things will change. Everyone says I deserve better. I'm not sure where we are anymore and I need support getting back to me. I just need a safe space without judgement to be vulnerable and say the things that I'm really feeling. Have you found yourself asking these questions?

Being human is hard. You're frustrated or unfulfilled in your relationships, having trouble coping with negative thoughts and feelings, or feeling disconnected from yourself or your goals. While outwardly you may look like you have it all together, internally, you feel isolated, stuck, or insecure. You're often second-guessing, blaming, or criticizing yourself. Being a perfectionist is exhausting and you feel like nothing you do is ever good enough. You struggle with saying no or worry about disappointing others. You can't get out of your own head and you feel weighed down by guilt or shame. You feel alone.

For most of us, especially in the context of romantic relationships, we have things that have happened in our past that influence how we are responding to challenges in the present. These past events do not need to be especially traumatic in order to have an impact. I work with individuals and couples on identifying unhelpful patterns occurring in their present-day lives, help them gain a better understanding of where these patterns started, and - most importantly - I provide actual, meaningful ways to change these unhelpful patterns so that clients can live less chaotic, more meaningful lives.

Some life changes are causing you to feel flooded with emotions and over-thinking your every move; your mind is stuck in a cycle and your body is in a constant state of alert. Sometimes you seem to be anchored down by a past experience(s) that keeps tinting your daily life. You are filled with worrisome thoughts, self-doubt, and your relationships have started to suffer, at home and work, to the point you cannot enjoy what you used to anymore. Those past experiences seem impossible to leave behind as many things from now keep bringing you back to them and how you felt in that moment; you simply don’t feel like yourself.
