If it's mentionable, it's manageable (quote from Mr. Rogers). Crafting this unpredictable, at times, painful and wondrous journey called life can be frightening and leave you feeling groundless. With so much going on in our current world having a space to discuss and face your anxieties, sadnesses and fears can help life feel more manageable. Clients working with me might consider the therapy process as compassionate "challenge by choice".

Living with anxiety is painful. Whether it is feeling overwhelmed by the stressors of daily life, navigating illness or survivorship, grappling with sexuality or identity, or struggling with past trauma, anxiety shows up in many ways and robs individuals of their joy. My ideal client is looking for a space of connection and peace, so they can feel safe to do healing work.

*I am not currently accepting new patients. Please email all inquiries.* Are you going through a time in your life when you emotions feel overwhelming? Are you lacking clarity about your true self? Do you tell yourself that you are doing the best you can, but wonder why you don't feel as good as you'd like to? Do you want to feel more like yourself, feel more connected to others and function better? Often times we have unmet emotional needs we are not even aware of, that pile up and negatively impact many areas of our lives: self-esteem, relationships, communication, academic/work performance, sports performance, parenting, etc.

What type of Dover mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.
