SLOW Down Just BREATHE - Make this your first step to effectively manage the challenges that confront you in your day to day life. In therapy, we will work together to confront your problems and improve the quality of your life.

Vitality, growth, love, empathy, and meaning are essential to healthy functioning and a sense of well-being. We often create these gratifying experiences through an authentic and positive connection with ourselves and others. However, sometimes these connections are hindered due to difficult life experiences, such as loss of a loved one, career and life transitions, addiction, divorce, or relationship concerns. These struggles can lead to feeling down, isolated, anxious and confused about how to move forward. I understand and am here to help.

You may now be seeking help to simply feel better. However, I have found over many years of practice that therapy will usually make your entire life better. Often anxiety, low self esteem, depression, relationship problems, and underlying conflicts we may not even fully understand, limits us from achieving what we want in our lives. Sometimes, we even need to discover what we truly want in order to be happy and successful. My therapeutic approach is proactive and geared toward directly achieving rapid positive change.

Are you experiencing a lot of stress and anxiety? Would you like more fulfilling relationships? Do you have trouble managing your feelings? I can help you with those challenges. My style is supportive and interactive, and I use a wide variety of cognitive, interpersonal, and psychodynamic techniques with clients. In addition to the usual therapy issues, if you have used or are considering using assisted conception (IVF, donor egg, donor sperm, etc.) to build your family, I have a great deal of expertise with this and can help you to sort out any related questions, parenting concerns, and challenges you may have about them.

Are you feeling anxious, sad and alone? Do you feel overwhelmed by your issues and stuck in your present situation? Do you you need support to help guide you through these issues so that you can be in a better place? I had a client with similar issues. She was 63 years old who lost her job due to downsizing. She was also divorced. Many of her friends left and the ones she had were not supportive. She was always a career person working as an Assistant Director of Human Resources. Since her job was terminated, she felt no one would hire her again and she felt worthless.

Starting motherhood is exciting and challenging. Sometimes, you feel joyful and contented. Other times, you don't feel like yourself. You lose your temper for tiny things; you hate your postpartum body and cannot stand to look at yourself in the mirror; you feel guilty when you prioritize your needs and doubt if you can be a good mom. From a psychological view, I think all those thoughts are understandable because your body, career, relationships, and personal identity are all affected by your new role as a mother. Some unresolved psychological issues (such as attachment issues) you carry along can also get triggered under stress.

Are you struggling with your relationship with food and body image? Has your struggle with eating and body image not been understood by medical providers and people you are close to? Have you searched for ways to navigate personal growth, identity exploration, and life transitions as part of mental health? It can be hard to pursue recovery from an eating disorder, depression, or anxiety while also navigating relationships and your career. Your eating disorder can still show up when you don't expect it to even after putting efforts in your recovery. Support can be helpful & individualized to your needs at any phase of your journey.
