Reaching out for help is a difficult, but a courageous first step and it signifies your desire for positive change in life. You may be someone who is suffering from emotional pain, and have become "stuck". You've realized it's time to transform.

You desire to boost your self-esteem and attain greater self-confidence. Now is the time to take back control of your life and to live a more authentic and happy life.

The faces that we wear bear the stories that we live. A friend once said, "I am going to therapy to make peace with my face". In building this profile to invite you to my practice, I noticed how constantly facial expression changes. We change second-by-second. We mask our feelings. We hurt. Sometimes what is visible to others is different than all that we hope to hold within. Other times, a fleeting expression can tell a whole story without us ever making a sound. In the search for authenticity, both concealing and revealing become part of our lived experience. Are you searching for your authentic self? Feeling fractured? Need help?

For many people depression and anxiety, as well as other mental health problems can be difficult to treat successfully due to unresolved 'developmental trauma', or trauma related to the attachment type you had to your parent(s) / caregiver(s). I utilize psychodynamic psychotherapy and attachment theory which mainly deal with early connections, good or bad, with primary caretakers. I am also trained in many new treatments based on the latest understanding of brain science, that are effective in treating unresolved developmental trauma, depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.
