My clients are vibrant, intelligent people who sometimes face challenges regulating their emotions, controlling their impulses, maintaining their relationships, and being compassionate toward themselves. I also see people who struggle with overthinking, mood fluctuations, and low self-esteem. Often, folks reach out after experiencing a loss or in the midst of a conflict or transition. I work frequently with arts and entertainment professionals, corporate leaders, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as those whose loved ones have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

At night you lie in bed wondering "Can this marriage really be saved?" You are so tired of feeling lonely, disconnected, and ignored. This is not AT ALL where you thought you'd ever end up. No more interesting conversations, no date nights, no fun, no sex. The thought "I can't wait to get home" turned into "Do I have to go home?" What happened? Will you ever reconnect with your spouse? Will you ever feel cherished and loved again? You've tried to fix it, but it didn't work. You got back defensiveness and criticism instead. You need HELP!. You can't do it alone. Should you stay or should you go?

When you get to a point in life where you feel stuck whether it is a relationship, work, or overwhelm in multiple domains of life, therapy can make a crucial difference in helping you move forward. When avoidance, white-knuckling, deep introspection on your own or other strategies you have tried do not provide the result you want, try therapy. If you are seeking some relief from painful feelings, or looking for help to change unhelpful or unwanted patterns in your life, or want a greater sense of meaningfulness and fulfillment, I commend you for taking the step of seeking support.
