We are most likely to seek psychotherapy when we hit a rough patch in life. We may need to adjust to a new reality after beginning a long-planned transition or experiencing an unexpected event. We may be grappling with a relationship problem, or struggling with an unexplained episode of depression or anxiety. As difficult as these periods can be, they provide an opportunity for questioning our beliefs about what we want for ourselves and what we can give to the world. I work best with persons who are interested in finding a path through anxiety, confusion, grief, and loneliness that leads to a more fulfilling and authentic life.

It is easy to become overwhelmed by the sadness, anger, or anxiety we experience. During these times we often feel uncertain and insecure.

I believe it is important for you to set realistic and reasonable expectations of yourself as well as others. And to develop the communication skills that will allow you to share your thoughts and feelings in healthy and appropriate ways.

Are you having difficulty feeling secure in relationships? Do you overthink a lot ? You’re someone who needs to talk right away when your loved one is unhappy and you won't feel better until things are solved. You get nervous when your partner asks for space. You feel responsible for making other people happy all the time, often at your own expense. You’re emotionally exhausted and ready for a change.

*MOBILE THERAPY SERVICE* When traditional 'mental health' services are not meeting your needs-CALL. This could be a result from a medical condition, limitations to transportation, or many other reasons that pose a barrier to meeting your emotional support needs in an office. Mobile Therapy is a way to have the service come to you and allow you the ability to mold the service in a way that would be most convenient for you. I view the therapeutic process as a journey, to achieve goals, improve your life for the better and feel that therapy should be catered to your needs.

Are you feeling unhappy or even miserable? Are you struggling with managing or coping with the stressors that are overwhelming your life? Have you tried to feel better on your own and nothing seems to be working? If the answer is yes to any of these questions and you are willing to invest in yourself, I may be able to help. We will work together using evidence-based therapeutic interventions such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). More often than not, I find individuals view change or a transition as uncomfortable and scary.
