New couples are often reluctant to seek help. Be it stigma surrounding couple's therapy, or feeling like they have not been together "long enough," couples usually wait until resentment and unhappiness have grown to distressing levels before reaching out for help. According to relationship expert Dr. John Gottman, couples often endure an average of six years of unhappiness before seeking help. Why let years of resentment build up when you can spend that time strengthening your bond and finding new ways to overcome and adapt to life's inevitable conflicts?

I believe that therapy should be a supportive, collaborative and challenging experience of self-discovery and self-acceptance where all emotions, ideas and issues can be explored and new patterns can unfold. Primarily working with adults, I specialize in working with individuals who may have had difficult childhoods and are wondering how those past experiences may be contributing to their current struggles, conflicts, stagnation or chaos.

Do you feel stuck making the same relationship mistakes over and over again? Do you find yourself giving too much in friendships, just to become bitter or lonely? Does your mind feel like an exhausting, rolling inner monologue? How can you know why you do these things, but keep doing them? Have you tried therapy but were left wanting? I feel you. I work with anxious individuals who are looking to explore their sense of identity in a deeper approach to therapy. So much of what makes us, us, is unconscious and not accessed via verbal processing.

The decision to begin psychotherapy is an important step towards personal growth and greater self-awareness. It is likely that you are experiencing some distress but also hopeful that by committing yourself to this process you will improve your mental health and overall satisfaction. An important part of succeeding in psychotherapy is your motivation level and a good match between you and your therapist. If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship distress, or sexual intimacy issues, I recommend we arrange a brief phone interview so you can note how it feels to share these private matters with me.

Most of us struggle with habitual reactions to life’s challenges — from doubt or guilt to shame or frustration. These responses are built-in, long-established parts of ourselves that we put in place to guard and protect ourselves but that are, ultimately, unsustainable and can be damaging. I want to help you get in touch with and untangle those reactions — those parts — so that you can live a freer life with a more fully-realized sense of self.
