It is important that we are always moving towards something, whether it’s a specific goal or just striving to be a better version of ourselves. But we get stuck in old patterns of thought and behavior. It can get better, and I would love to help you get there.

Do you feel ashamed of how your life is going? Are you embarrassed to openly admit how unhealthy your family dynamics are or how your romantic relationship is going? I'm here for you. We all suffer from some shame at some point in our lives, and I firmly believe that shame makes us feel that we are out of place in society and that others can easily spot us for how damaged, messed up, or flawed we are. That we "stick out like a sore thumb." Perhaps you have tried your minister or rabbi to no avail. Maybe you have shared your struggles with your friends and neighbors, but nothing helped.
