Are you feeling frustrated, "stuck", stressed, or hopeless? This can happen at different points in our lives. There can be challenges, traumatic events, a feeling of loneliness, and hopelessness. Sometimes one needs support during significant transitions in life. Therapy can provide an opportunity to explore your feelings during these times. Finding a therapist who will listen, be supportive, and help guide you toward the path of life you want to lead is important.

Stuck, sad, mad, stressed or lonely? I am a clinical psychologist and I see adults who want to address life transitions, relationships, anxiety and depression. Frequently, new parents AND mid-life adults experience a shift in mindset and health. I can help you consider new perspectives about marriage/partnership, parenthood, and life after “intensive” parenting. My clientele include busy professionals who find that the pressure to “do it all” leaves them depleted and dissatisfied at home as well as busy part-time and stay-at-home parents who wonder if life is passing them by.

It is easy to feel anxious, overwhelmed, and stressed in today’s world. We might even be aware we are stuck in patterns that no longer benefit us. During these times, talking to a therapist can help.

My goal is to develop a safe and secure therapeutic relationship where we can uncover and address the source of your challenges and past traumas on your terms. Through our work together, we can also develop goals and plans to empower you to improve your relationships with yourself and others.

Do all of life’s responsibilities seem overwhelming? Taking care of the family, balancing your career, being present in your relationship seem like too much? Balancing all of this leaves you feeling stuck and unsure of how to express yourself to others. You’re exhausted and feel like there’s no space for you, your voice, your wants and your needs. Sharing your struggles feels impossible, leaving you feeling isolated and alone.

When was the last time you truly felt connection with yourself and those around you? As we are faced with the stressors and over-stimulation of the world, it is critical to stop and look inward. Most of us just put our heads down and get through each day in an effort to just keep pushing forward. Stress and emotions can build up and become unresolved, feel overwhelming. We can lose sight of what's important to us and can get stuck in behaviors that don't work anymore. I believe that we are capable of more than just surviving.

I work with people experiencing many challenges including: generalized anxiety, health/illness anxiety, panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, grief, disenfranchised grief, difficult childhoods, relational trauma, ADHD. I can help you understand and modify what symptoms you're experiencing. Also, I can help you better understand why you behave they way you do in relationships, and help you adjust your patterns (e.g. codependence/people pleasing, being distant or hyper-independent, or, being overly controlling) that aren't serving you anymore. I work best with people who are interested in deep self exploration.

We go to therapy for many reasons: to untangle old patterns, to seek relief from emotional pain, to move through grief, to develop our capacity in relationships, to know ourselves more deeply. Everyone’s therapy experience is unique to them. Some of the ways that we might work together include: exploring what you feel and how you express it, noticing how your past experiences are influencing your present, and what calls your attention when it has space to be heard. We will have the opportunity to slow down dynamics and work with them. This is all approached with curiosity, collaboration, and compassion.
