Mental health challenges affect everyone, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, or gender. You may have grown up being told that seeking therapy is a sign of weakness, but in reality, it shows courage to confront your struggles. Therapy can help you address hardships directly, preventing them from impacting other areas of life. Navigating your life's journey and finding yourself can be overwhelming. There's no shame in seeking help. I believe in the power of therapy to guide you through challenges, develop coping strategies, gain new perspectives, and utilize your strengths effectively.

You won't hear "It's going to be okay, I know how you feel, you will get over it" when you come to me. I understand that the hour you pay for is your hour and you will get the chance to say whatever it is that you want to say guilt-free. Saying things out loud to a trained listener will help you understand your world view in a different way. In turn, you will develop insight and coping skills.

Maybe you feel empty, trapped, or lost. Perhaps you can identify the source of this pain. Perhaps you cannot and feel that you “should” be happier. Loved ones may give well-intentioned but unhelpful advice: “Just be positive! Have gratitude!” But this only leaves you feeling even more isolated, alienated, and misunderstood. You feel confused about what you really want, catering instead to everyone else's needs but your own. You sense that a new, more meaningful life could be possible… but somehow it always feels just out of reach. Maybe you are close to giving up altogether and feel resigned to a life of suffering.

I believe that everyone is doing the best they can in life given their knowledge and experience to date. Unfortunately, sometimes past ways of operating are not always helpful given the current challenges you may be facing. If you are feeling stuck in old patterns, or overwhelmed with life's current challenges, and would like to explore more productive ways of living, please consider giving me a call. I would enjoy working with you to create positive changes in your life.

I work with people who have intimacy &relationship issues, chronic illness, self-esteem issues, conflicts, pervasive feelings of unhappiness, loneliness, loss, anxiety, depression and/or emptiness, self-defeating patterns or just a general sense of being out of sync with themselves, their feelings & the other people in their world. My style is warm, non-judgmental, empathic & collaborative.
