The most important person in the therapy session is you. The most mysterious person in the therapy session is you. And the most powerful insight will eventually come from you. You may feel stuck, angry, lonely, confused, hopeless or numb. Maybe you feel too much? Perhaps you're losing hours on tik tok or porn sites? you dissociate, sleep too much; can't sleep. It's okay to reach out. Everyone wants connection, everyone needs connection. Therapy can help you find ways to connect.
Client centered, psychodynamic therapy interventions support uncovering obstacles to change. A strong alliance with me will help you sustain new ways of feeling, thinking and 'being.' We'll use a range of modalities to support awareness and change. I specialize in treatment for eating disorders, mood (irritability/anger), anxiety and depression.
"If everything around you looks dark, look again. You may be the light." Rumi
