Do you not have enough satisfaction in your life? Do you wish you were in a relationship? Are you struggling with the one you are in? Do you wish for a better career?

"A year from now, you may wish you started today." - K. Lamb.

People seek therapy because they want to have a more satisfying life, and have been unable to achieve their goals due to internal and external stresses. In my practice, I treat adults and adolescents who report issues such as anxiety, depression and interpersonal problems that cause them concern. I work individually, with couples, and in groups, depending upon my assessment of the client's need. My current groups are focused around relationship issues; I also work with writers experiencing creative problems, and students who want to resolve writing blocks in order to complete degree requirements.

“I once heard a child who was afraid of the darkness call out: "Auntie, talk to me, I’m frightened.’ ‘But what good will that do? You can’t see me;’ to which the child replied: ‘If someone talks, it gets lighter.”(Sigmund Freud) I believe that through talk therapy, we can overcome whatever lies at the root of the problem. Together, we will try to better understand what has brought you to the consulting room, whether that be relationship problems, social anxiety, depression, trauma, self doubt or a specific issue you would like to address.

Whether it's relationship issues, difficulty with school/work, or overwhelming feelings that make things feel harder than they should be, I am here to support you.
Life can be challenging for many different reasons, and sometimes it feels like everything is happening at once or things just aren't going how we expected. Being vulnerable is difficult, and so is assessing ourselves honestly and kindly. It's overwhelming to look inward to assess the changes that we can make or the standards that we want to set for ourselves. Sometimes it takes an objective perspective to help us realize our reality as well as our potential.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
