When we find ourselves struggling with the kind of distress that our usual strategies and supports can't relieve, good therapy is a lifeline. Like massage for physical injuries, psychotherapy effectively relieves chronic emotional pain, clears out unwanted emotional scar tissue, and creates flexibility, strength and new possibilities for positive motion in our lives. Whether you are worried about your own mental health, or the distress of someone you love, or are simply curious about how therapy might help, call/email me to schedule an initial conversation to talk about what kind of treatment is best for you.
Having served on the faculty and administration of several top notch graduate degree programs in psychology over the last 15 years, I have extensive training and experience in using a strengths-based, attachment-oriented, active approach to create positive change for Individuals, Couples, and Families with Adult Children.
We all deserve a therapist who is relentlessly compassionate, non-judgmental and accepting. But when struggling, we also need a therapist who will lovingly support us in creating real, noticeable, longed-for positive change in relationship to the important people and goals in our lives. I offer weekly online sessions and I look forward to speaking with you.
