If you're an adult dealing with a life transition (e.g., college, marriage, parenthood, loss of spouse/partner, relationship challenge), I want to help you. If you are experiencing distressing symptoms of loss of identity related to learning you are donor-conceived (DC), a late-discovery adoptee (LDA) or not parent expected (NPE) / misattributed parentage and you want to work through your identity issues, I can help you. If your emotional struggles are tied to a life event or you don't know why you feel this way; if you feel overwhelmed, tired and confused and just want someone to help, let's talk it through.
I am a supportive therapist, skilled at eliciting and holding your painful feelings. I will help you identify confusing or painful emotions and unmet needs, and I will explain the psychological factors underlying your distress. Together we will build the important life skills you need to feel better.
When you become a client, I will use warmth, empathy and critical analysis to help you move from the pain or unhappiness that brings you to therapy to self-realization and resolution of your problems. We will explore your deepest thoughts and emotions together and determine the best way to reconcile them so you feel more peaceful and self-aware.
