Understanding ourselves allows us to make choices that otherwise might be out of our reach. Acknowledging how we feel opens the way to understanding. When we repress our feelings we can shut down not only how we experience ourselves but how we connect to others. Ignoring our feelings often leads to depression and anxiety and interferes with our ability to know ourselves and trust ourselves. We may feel at times that others are in control and that we are helpless. We are the ones responsible for the choices we make and recognizing this is empowering and builds self-esteem.

Have you felt unbalanced and uncertain with new life transitions? Have you had a difficult time managing stress and anxiety ? Dealing with difficult emotions that arise through challenging life transitions can negatively impact self esteem, relationships and work.

Emotions can really suck and as we age we grow to have difficulty expressing and feeling them. An "affect phobia ." In other words, we develop difficulty interacting, expressing, and feeling our emotions. This presents in a number of different methods; laughing when uncomfortable, lack of eye contact, verbal outbursts, restlessness, and many other ways. I help clients recognize defenses, regulate the feeling, and experience it physically throughout our body. The goal being an elimination of depression, anxiety , and trauma responses in the shortest time possible.

Let's face it. To seek personal mental help presents to be very challenging. It takes a lot of courage to address deep rooted issues and complex life situations. The reality is that many don't know where to begin. Is that you? Some enter therapy to address major life changes, losses, difficult relationships, even substance abuse. Others may seek therapy to help manage mental health conditions. Some may have personally identified life goals that they want to achieve but need a guide on their road map to success.

Over thirty years of experience partnering with clients of all ages, from a wide variety of backgrounds, has confirmed for me each person has within themselves the resources and ability to become the person they wish to be and to improve their satisfaction in life. As a therapist I partner with each client helping them to identify patterns of thought and behavior that are no longer effective and guide them in discovering new, more rewarding ways of relating and connecting with others. I work collaboratively with clients to solve problems, connect with strengths, and reach their personal and professional goals.
