Are you having a crisis of self-confidence? Low self-esteem and stress are impacting your everyday life. The relationship you have with yourself is at an all-time low. You notice that your relationships with others have changed, too. You want to feel better about yourself, but you don’t know where to start. Life’s stressors can bring you down, causing you to constantly question yourself.

It takes courage to start therapy. To become aware of old beliefs & behaviors that no longer work. To be open to healing from the past and creating a more authentic & fulfilling future. I use an integrative approach, combining Psychodynamic theory, CBT, as well as concepts from Evolutionary Psychology to guide my clients through this process. As needed, I also add in several science-based stress management interventions, such as: breathing techniques, progressive muscle relaxation, positive visualizations, etc. My clients report they feel more relaxed, less reactive and just generally happier over time.

Life can be beautiful, but lately it feels overwhelming and messy. Emotional, physical, relational, and professional/academic stressors can leave you feeling overwhelmed and emotionally drained. As a result, you feel disconnected from yourself and others. You feel like you’re going through life in a haze. At the end of each day, you wonder how you can summon the energy to do it all again tomorrow. You’ve been so busy caring for others that you’re ignoring your own needs. You’ve never been more dissatisfied with your body and health. You find yourself in a cycle of unhealthy habits that feel impossible to break.

"When it is dark enough, you can see the stars" -- R.W. Emerson. Sometimes life brings us to an edge that we just can't see beyond. We can linger on that edge for a lifetime, or only for another moment. No matter what, the next steps will require courage. Perhaps we can find a new trailhead and take a few steps together. The path is often wider than we know.

Do you feel invalidated and misunderstood by the people in your life? Are past experiences making it difficult for you to build and keep healthy relationships? Life hasn't been easy. You're still grappling with the lingering trauma and grief from your past. Life’s painful experiences have affected relationships with your partner, children, parents, or friends. You've made efforts to improve your situation, but nothing seems to change. You might also feel like you are walking through your situation alone.

If you are experiencing a roadblock or facing a potentially new path or way to live, our work together would include reframing the roadblock as a potential crossroads in which neglected parts of yourself could be explored so as to live a life of greater authenticity, integrity and wholeness. With over 20 years experience, I specialize in "transitions" or what many people experience as either blocks or bridges in their lives as well as the stress that accompanies them. Even good change can be stressful and in some languages, the word for crisis actually means "opportunity."

Therapy is a helpful process to cope with stressors including major life transitions, relationship issues, grief and loss, and traumatic experiences. I believe the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship between the clinician and the client including the provision of a safe, supportive environment in which to explore innermost thoughts and feelings. My approach is collaborative with a belief that my clients and I are working together as a team to enrich the client's life by raising awareness, identifying feelings, and improving coping skills ultimately to reduce symptoms and change undesired behavioral patterns.

We all need someone in our lives that is source of support and encourages us to grow. Therapy is about our ability to examine current life circumstances and figure out, not only how to handle the situations, but also how to grow from them. Therapy does not have to be a lifelong committment, however improving ourselves can be. Using a solution focused framework, we will work together to identify strategies that work for you to use long after our time together. My experience is very diverse and I have worked with all age groups, including couples and families.
