Something is not feeling right or going the way you would like it to in your life. Maybe its depression or anxiety, a relationship that has gone sour, maybe you feel stuck or confused, lost or just plain not content with how things are going. You would like a change, a goal to be reached, or to better understand yourself or someone else. I believe I can help with these types of challenges. Being a therapist is not just a job to me. The relationship of client and therapist gives me a feeling of profound awe and respect, and often love. I love my job and I love that maybe, just maybe, I can help you embody the change you are seeking.

The work that we do includes developing a relationship in which you feel safe and supported by me, as many previous clients have noticed.
Have you tried counseling before and found it didn't help? In my experience, traditional, or talk therapy, has limitations. Many people struggle with relationships, self-esteem, depression and/or anxiety. I have found that these issues are rooted in the "small t" traumas experienced earlier in life, and the resulting beliefs we have about ourselves, such as I'm not good enough, I have to be perfect or I'm not safe. Our nervous systems get overloaded so that we are in a near constant state of fight, flight or freeze. We live with negative self talk, which feels normal, but isn't. These symptoms lead to depression and anxiety.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
