Are you experiencing difficulty in your relationships, engaging in self-sabotoging behavior, feeling paralyzed in your life? You don't have to remain anxious, depressed, confused or paralyzed in relationships or in life. Together we can create a safe space for you to feel both understood and empowered. We will work as a partnership exploring the hurdles that prevent growth, and the patterns of behavior that are no longer helpful but difficult to let go of. Together we will lay the foundation for lasting change.
I work within a relational and interpersonal framework with individuals. I incorporate both concrete recommendations as well as insight-oriented approaches. In the room we will explore both conscious and unconscious roadblocks that create difficulty in your daily life.
My specialties include: relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, career and identity issues, self-sabotaging behavior & life transitions. I have a particular subspecialty in working with professional artists and adult children of narcissistic parents.
