My expertise also includes treating Anxiety, Depression, Relationship Issues, Divorce, Parenting, Addiction, Trauma, Domestic Violence, Loss/Grief, and LGBTQ+ Issues.
Have you been suddenly hit with overwhelming fear, worry, anxiety, leaving you feeling out of control? Are you feeling sad and lonely but you are too ashamed or reluctant to tell anyone about it? These experiences can leave a person feeling helpless and hopeless. There are ways to alleviate these intense feelings. There are many mental health professionals from whom to choose, but what really matters now is, "Who can help me?" Entering psychotherapy can be confusing. In an empathic and safe environment, I help each client understand how their past affects their present so that they may achieve the desired change in their life.

And they're having trouble getting there...If you are not communicating with each other well or are trying to chart a course but are unclear how to do so, we can resolve these issues & more for a better today and tomorrow. Many of my clients are also dealing with schizophrenia, traumas, or bipolar disorder...I also evaluate couples adopting from India.

Healing happens within relationships, relationships we have to ourselves, our beloved others, our careers, family, and even the relationship we have with the words that describe our suffering.
The clients who seek me most are those searching for meaning in the adverse events that have happened to them and their courage to live wholly and fully while suffering. I believe people who are ready for this style of rich internal therapy work are willing to leave the comfort of their suffering to live a more authentic life with grace and flexibility through radical self-acceptance.

Stuck? There are lots of reasons people get stuck. You're busy! Maybe you've tried to figure things out on your own and keep hitting a wall. Maybe there are family or generational patterns you're working against. Perhaps you and your partner love each other but keep having the same fights over and over again. Maybe there are some intimacy issues that you can't quite fix. I know that unresolved personal or relationship issues create heartache for everyone involved, and being stuck in them is frustrating and overwhelming. It doesn't have to stay that way, though.

I am also experienced at working individually with clients on relationship problems, disordered eating, trauma, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and identity-related issues.
People refer to therapy as a science or practice-but I have come to view it as an art in the most exquisite form. Therapy is about expressing and emoting, and finding value in the internal and external relationships we create. My education and clinical experience has verified the depth of this "art," revealing knowledge that can be gained, healing of old scars, and magic that can ensue when self-love occurs. I am a firm believer that therapy is not a requirement for healthy living, but similar to music and film, it can add intrigue, deepen relationships, and significantly enhance the quality of life.

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.
