Do you ever feel stressed out, lost or unmotivated? You don't have to overcome it on your own. I understand the hardships of daily life stressors and how these can affect your work, relationships, and physical health. You were probably getting by until that proverbial straw made your burden too much to carry alone. When stressed out events long past might start bothering you again. You just want to feel like yourself again and I want to help you to become the person you would like to be.

I often work with patients to examine longstanding difficulties, both with others and within their own selves. Such patterns often leave people feeling misunderstood, empty, lost, unheard, unseen, taken advantage of, stuck, angry, or resentful. Feeling this way can leave you feeling disconnected from and distrusting of others; even those who you love and want to feel close to. Many times, these pieces can be extremely difficult and even can feel impossible to share. And that's okay. We will work together to address what feels important to you and at your pace.

You are dedicated, committed, family oriented, and everyone always say great
things about you. You never complain, always strive to get the job done, and put everyone’s needs first. This is the person on the outside who is totally different from the person on the inside wanting to scream from all the weight of stress, anxiety, and depression. Many of us, especially men, feel that we have to carry the load by ourselves because that’s what we have learned. The thought of putting yourself first feels like betrayal. You want to ask for help but who will understand and, most importantly, what will they say or think.
