Change is hard for everyone. It can be painful and exhausting to manage change but we all have to do it from time to time whether that means facing internal problems or external ones. You don't have to do it alone. I am a social worker with a clinical focus and a pastoral counselor (interfaith/ecumenical focus - I am not here to tell anyone who to be or what to believe), and I have extensive experience with a wide range of mental health challenges.

Do you often wake up feeling anxious about the day ahead, or drained before you've even begun? If you struggle with low energy throughout the day, know that you are not alone in this battle. Depression can steal your energy, leaving everything feeling dull and hopeless. Remember, this isn’t about laziness; it’s about facing the very real challenges that depression brings. Managing these overwhelming feelings alone can be tough, but you don’t have to do it by yourself.

Historically, you've succeeded at just about everything you do. But whether you are a senior executive, a professional athlete, or a stay-at-home mom, we all eventually hit a wall. The anxiety becomes intense enough that we think others are starting to notice. The depression gets harder to beat on our own. Someone uses the word "addiction" for the first time. We all want to excel at work and feel connected at home, but sometimes we just feel stuck.

It can be a difficult decision to seek help when your life is feeling off track or stuck in patterns that are not serving you. Particularly in our current climate of increased anxiety and rising levels of depression, it’s crucial that you have a sense of comfort and emotional safety with the person with whom you work to explore the issues that confront you. I implement an individualized course of therapy for each client using a combination of psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and relational techniques. I offer a free consultation in order for us to decide if I might be a good fit for you.
