"Many people consider psychotherapy when life hurts too much, but hesitate to take the first step. You might wonder, will this help? Can it get any better? Am I just strange? Often it's easier to move on from trauma or loss with the help of a compassionate, empathetic person. Therapy can help you develop a new and broader sense of yourself, your life, and your future. Therapy is a way to bring back your spirit and reorient yourself to the person you are meant to be."

"Are you frustrated, disengaged or anxious about life problems or school? I support healing by fostering healthy relationship. I found that clients that value a psychobiological approach to therapy tend to be drawn to me, especially if they are working through a transition such as relocation, divorce, life change, or relationship change. That approach includes physical, psychological, social and cultural domains. My greatest passion is to restore balance and bring relief. My work with clients revolves around supporting them to prioritize their needs, as well as to identify coping mechanisms and resources available to them. "

My focus is on you and your relationship with your daughter (&/or mother). CALL ME. I look forward to connecting with you."

"Depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and other symptoms can take away the ability to enjoy life, and make it difficult to remain socially connected and maintain good interpersonal relationships.

My services are designed to help the individual understand and successfully deal with emotional or relational problems which she or he may be experiencing.

My philosophy is that my clients have an innate ability to heal from their challenges, as well as to grow and develop in positive ways throughout their lives. This is accomplished through building on personal strengths and abilities to achieve health and balance in all areas of life."

"Health concerns can be life changing, sometimes permanently. One day you are living your life, making plans for the future, and then it happens. It might be a traumatic accident, a serious diagnosis or a medical procedure that changes the quality of your life. You find yourself with a new reality and set of challenges, including perhaps a long recovery or chronic condition, and reduced abilities. It can be frightening to think you may not regain a quality of life that you recognize and find value in."

"**Now accepting new clients** You're used to being smart enough to figure things out, but this thing has you stumped. Maybe you're spending more time than you'd like thinking about that thing in your past. Maybe your relationships keep failing in the same way and you're starting to think it might be you (or at least the people you seem to always choose). Maybe you feel like your friends are tired of listening to you vent. Maybe anxiety or sadness is keeping you from doing the things you want to do."

"I believe we are all doing the best we can to regulate our emotions and focus our attention. With the benefit of therapy healthier more effective ways of regulating emotions can be integrated. Imagine being able to choose how to act versus reacting to others. Regulating your emotions allows you to feel more confident, happier and in control of your life. Therapy can assist you in learning how to focus attention on what matters most. Investing in your ability to focus your attention along with emotional regulation is key to success in relationships and functioning optimally in work or academic situations."

"You have been been facing difficulties but feel unable to continue struggling alone. Therapy is a good option because often issues are best solved within the context of a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

My psychoanalytically-informed approach to short or long-term therapy is based on gaining insight into what issues may be interfering with your ability to work effectively, enjoy life or relate to significant others."

"I believe that human connection the most powerful force in our lives, and that it can be the source of much of our strength as well as much of our pain. The quality of the psychotherapeutic relationship forms the foundation for all growth and healing done within this context. The simple addition of a new, invested relationship to one's life can help provide room to move forward. Once this foundation is in place, amazing progress can be made, whether this is conceptualized as return to a more fulfilling moment in life, or as more full achieving one's potential."
