Anxiety can be so overwhelming and persistent that it feels like it's taking over. Sadness, grief, and depression may feel so heavy and unmanageable that the simple but vital parts of life such as sleeping, eating, and work are difficult or complicated. Your pain might be related to a recent stressful event like heartbreak or the death of someone close to you, or maybe it is less acute but feels endless. Perhaps there is an atmosphere of dread, loneliness, fear, and frustration. Relationships become conflict- ridden or devoid of real feeling. There is a sense that you're doing it wrong or always making the same mistakes.
My approach helps you make sense of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that hurt but persist. I listen deeply and carefully to form a holistic understanding of you in the context of your current and historical life. I am an active participant in your treatment, and I am honest and direct when it comes to aspects of yourself where you want reflection & help.
You're likely here because you want relief and lasting change. Your goals are a crucial aspect of our work together, and you should expect that therapy creates a meaningful and positive difference in your life. This requires a strong connection and fit, so it's important to take your time when looking for a therapist. I'm here to help with that process.

Groups
Group Process for High Schoolers
Conscious self- development begins in adolescence. Teenagers experience a huge amount of pressure from school, friends, and society. Most kids in high school become overwhelmed by this at some point- they often struggle with balancing their academic load with social and personal needs. This group focuses on high school social dynamics, academic pressure, and the transitions between grade levels, including moving out of the childhood home. Members have a space to vent and connect with other kids experiencing similar challenges. The group process facilitates social skills practice like deescalating, listening and reflecting, and conflict resolution.
