Anyone, at any given time, across any geographical or demographical divide, can experience emotional distress and compensatory adaptive behaviors to recalibrate and/or regulate. This is the human condition. Yet, when this distress is prolonged, and behaviors once adaptive become maladaptive, the emotions are harder to regulate, and evidence of this is seen in key domains of functioning: intellectual, interpersonal, intrapersonal, occupational, and educational.

I see psychotherapy as a dialogue between two people that can yield great personal growth and transformation. I aim to promote a safe, supportive and trusting psychotherapeutic relationship that facilitates the exploration of areas of difficulty, hurt, and vulnerability. My patients typically gain the following from our work together: insights into their own unproductive behaviors, new perspectives, increased confidence and self acceptance. I work collaboratively with my patients. I ask probing questions and point out inconsistencies. I also provide feedback, advice, insights, observations and opinions.

I work with teens and adults who are experiencing a variety of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression, or questions of identity or purpose. Perhaps it seems, on the surface, that we are productive and high- achieving, performing well at work, school, or other responsibilities, yet, deep down it feels as if we are simply “going through the motions”. We would like to feel more connected with others and invested in our life and goals, but are unsure where to start.

Are you caught between competing identities, beliefs, and desires? Are you struggling to heal from trauma, overcome despair, or maintain boundaries? Do you find yourself socially or politically misunderstood by those around you? Do you repeat the same unsatisfying patterns in work, friendship, and relationships?

You excel in one or more areas of your life, yet you silently struggle with feelings of being unworthy and unlovable. Sometimes you may even feel like an outsider in your own life. Maybe you buy nice things, or go on amazing trips, but for some reason you still don’t feel happy. You may hide behind your work and push people away because you are afraid to let them know who you really are. This is not what you want to be doing but you can’t help it. This is not your fault. You are doing the best you can with the resources you were given. At The Empowerment Opportunity, we will help you tap into different resources within yourself.
