Whether you are struggling to make sense of a recent diagnosis, provide care for a loved one under difficult circumstances, or overcome obstacles in your work or relationships with others, therapy can help alleviate your distress. Specifically, in my practice, I support people in understanding and working through feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression – especially those arising from their experiences with acute and chronic illnesses (including cancer), grief and loss, low self-esteem, and dissatisfaction with their jobs and relationships.
When working with clients, I use psychodynamic, meaning-centered, and existential techniques to explore their current concerns and the deeper emotional, intellectual, and relational patterns that influence them. This approach is one that helps people discover the true source of their pain and suffering, and make real, lasting changes in their lives.
If you are ready to feel more connected to yourself and those around you, I invite you to reach out to me for a free consultation. During that first call, we will talk about your current experience and hopes for therapy, and begin the work of finding a better way forward.
