Do you feel stuck? Are external obstacles, or your own internal fears, holding you back from living a full and meaningful life? In therapy, you can grow, heal, and move forward. Anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder are real challenges. You can expect to build lifelong coping skills that enable you to reach your goals and experience sustained healing. You can feel calmer, more balanced, more motivated, and more focused. You can learn to build and sustain healthier and more satisfying relationships with family, work colleagues, and romantic partners. Contact me today. I am looking forward to hearing your story.
You can gain insights and learn strategies that you can start applying right away in your everyday life to reduce stress, feel more energetic, and improve your family relationships. Based on your needs, we will draw from Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Interpersonal Therapy, and other evidence-based approaches.
You can expect expert, compassionate care that can help you define your needs and desires. In therapy, we can map a way forward and build a strong foundation to equip you with self-agency to develop new patterns and create a life closer to your ideal and recalibrate your relationship with yourself and others. Let me assist you in navigating to a new norm.
