Are you looking to initiate a major life change but keep getting in your own way of doing so? Or, has a major life change been thrust upon you and you’re having trouble adapting and coping?

More adults, adolescents and children are experiencing depression and anxiety than ever before. Family, work, academics, social stress and isolation can affect us emotionally and physically. There has been a significant increase in drug and alcohol use, behavioral problems, medical complications, broken relationships, lost jobs and academic failure. Social media and the internet provide tremendous opportunities but also problems. In person and cyber bullying cause depression and sometimes death. Some of us experience severe trauma and develop PTSD. At some time we are need support. It is never weak to ask for help.

Life can often present us with obstacles and challenges resulting in stress .Have you been feeling anxious? Not sleeping enough? Are you worried about your job? Have you been concerned about your youngest child starting college? Do you struggle with issues of addiction or trauma, other life transitions weighing you down? Do you have worries about your relationships? All of these stressors can bring you to a place where support, safety and compassion are needed in order to continue on your journey of change. That is where therapy and our work together can help build a foundation for change.

I believe that the key to change in psychotherapy is creating a safe environment in which you can explore the issues that brought you into therapy, and developing new ways of coping with them. This is facilitated by my focus on building a strong and mutually trusting therapeutic relationship. I utilize an insight-oriented approach when underlying factors are contributing to emotional pain, but I also use cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness/relaxation, and problem solving to help people find the right solutions for them.
