Something is not ok. Maybe you can't stop worrying, and stress wakes you up at night and you can't turn off your brain. Maybe there are things that you can't talk to your friends about. A relationship has ended, or you've found yourself in the same kind of relationship again. Maybe someone you love has died and you don't know what to do, or it's been a while and people think you should be "over it" by now. Maybe you've just gotten a scary diagnosis. Maybe you have a decision to make and need help figuring out what to do. Being human is really, really hard sometimes; being in therapy can help.
I work and live from a depth psychology and existential perspective, meaning that we are working to feel better, and also looking at patterns and what's there that we can't see yet. I help clients develop more secure attachment and good communication in relationships. I bring 18 years of working in medicine with acute & chronic illness into my practice.
In therapy, we can explore what's going on, figure out how to better cope, and learn how to calm the nervous system. The process may include looking at family & generational dynamics, looking at the shadow, normalizing some of what you're feeling, and explore how to make changes that ease stress and suffering.
