So many of us suffer from feelings of shame, despair, and worthlessness. Never feeling quite "enough," we seek various and sometimes maladaptive ways of dealing with our pain and discomfort. If you are seeking a therapist, there is a good chance you are looking for a new way to make changes and differences in your life.

Making changes in your life can be hard to accomplish - especially when you find yourself repeating the same patterns of behavior despite your best efforts not to. In therapy, I would work with you to improve your self-awareness, understand your emotional style, and learn new ways of relating to the important people in your life. Using these new insights, you can begin to make the changes you want, feel better about your choices, and enhance the quality of your relationships.

Life can be very overwhelming and sometimes we may feel stuck. Maybe our children are struggling and we're unsure how to help them be more successful. We could feel overburdened by our daily responsibilities that seem to be never-ending. Perhaps we haven't achieved in ways we thought we would have by now. The realization that things aren't working can be our first step towards change. Working with a trusted therapist can often provide us the clarity that helps us move forward. I believe we all have the capacity to achieve higher levels of life satisfaction if we so desire.

Therapy is the process of coming to live as our best selves. This involves a complex dance of change and acceptance. It's this process that I so appreciate navigating together with my clients. Some people reach out to a therapist because of challenging life-adjustment situations. Others are pushed into therapy by family, friends, or employers when they are in highly distressing situations. Either way, change is possible when we're willing to show up just a little bit.

I strive to use interventions that meet the specific needs of my clients in a safe, comfortable, and nonjudgmental way. I often use a cognitive-behavioral approach (CBT) in psychotherapy as I help my clients adjust and overcome maladaptive thinking patterns and behaviors. I also utilize dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and other therapeutic modalities as a way of teaching clients important coping techniques to manage their stress and navigate their challenges. My goal is to help my clients learning healthy ways of living and a positive mindset to overcome challenges.
