Difficulty Finding A Therapist? Sessions Now Available In Person or Online. When we are stuck in the midst of problems, it is often difficult to have hope. It may feel like things will never change. Being stuck prevents us from seeing our choices, so we may try to resolve a problem by doing something that we have already tried. This is normal, but sometimes normal stops working. So when life gets chaotic - or just plain crazy - and what we have tried has failed, consider therapy to become unstuck. I am here to help you untangle yourself from difficult situations, self-sabotaging behaviors or emotional angst that makes life hard.
As a former business executive, I have unique perspective to help career professionals who are struggling with over-the-top productivity demands or unhealthy work culture. I also treat clients who are attempting to heal themselves from unhealthy family or romantic relationships that can cause emptiness, pain and contribute to unhealthy coping styles.
The human experience can be a painful one, so I invite you to reach out to me as you or your family member trek this dark passage. You don't have to walk it alone. You have an ally in your corner, one who does not lead the way, but shows you the pathway of choices, so you can trek the way to healing, growth & recovery. You're one click away from getting help
