Dara's psychotherapy practice is dedicated to helping young adults work through challenges related to this phase of life. Young adulthood is a time of great opportunities related to building satisfying relationships, careers and establishing one's own path. Along the way many get stuck in indecision, doubts and fears. For others, stress and unresolved issues can lead to mental health challenges including depression, anxiety and addictions. Expectations of others and culture can contribute to the pressures and sense of isolation. Working collaboratively with his patients, Dara brings empathy and compassion to work.

In our modern times, many young adults are facing tremendous pressures at school and in the workplace. The fast pace of the digital age is also contributing to stress, exasperating perfectionism and leaving many feeling lonely. Therapy creates the space for honesty, authenticity and discovery.

If you are struggling in your young adulthood, then know that you are not alone. Feeling supported to find your true self is what makes therapy such a valuable opportunity. Therapy helps one become aware of barriers to more loving relationships. Reaching out for help may open a new chapter which allows for a journey of understanding, healing and growth.

Being out of touch with love, creativity, nature and faith take a toll on the individual because we are meant to be interconnected. I help patients become aware of roadblocks they experience to greater connection, love and wellbeing so that over time they become more conscious of their choices & free to make them. This is often a process that asks for being steadfast, patient and painstaking.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Psychodynamic

"

My therapy practice integrates a psychodynamic approach which is helpful to those who have a desire to get to know themselves better. Psychodynamic therapy is intended to go beyond symptoms towards gaining insight and understanding into what is contributing to the symptoms. This approach is for those who wish to settle into therapy and is not a quick fix.
