Are you experiencing feelings of extreme sadness, loneliness, or anxiety? Do you feel emotionally disconnected from your loved ones? Do you feel like life’s challenges are stealing joy from the relationships you hold so dear? Our behaviors are largely dictated by what we think and by the way we feel. Our thoughts and feelings have a lot to do with our experiences within ourselves, in our relationships, and with the world around us. These experiences often cause feelings such as loneliness, depression, helplessness, anxiety, worthlessness, confusion, and isolation. If this is you, you can overcome and begin to live again.

Does the thought of therapy feel boring and pointless to you?

As you consider a therapist, search for someone who seems to value the things you value, someone who will want to support your life goals; listen to your own sense of who can get you started on the road to healing, recovery, or flourishing; focus on your need to understand what you really want and how to start getting more out of your life. Psychotherapy is like physical therapy; something is injured, not fully developed, or needing to be used differently; the session stretches and strengthens; homework is essential to making progress; if you come consistently, do the homework, you get better. It's a partnership.

I believe that recovery is possible for everyone and healing occurs best in the context of an authentic, trusting relationship. Many of my clients come to me after other approaches have not worked for them. We work not only to manage distressing symptoms, but also to break enduring patterns related to identity, relationships, emotional expression, and safety that often stem from earlier experiences where we felt unsafe, out of control, or invalidated. In therapy we work to make meaning out of past experiences, break those patterns, learn more about ourselves, and move towards the life we want.

I believe that people are resilient and that we all have the capacity to change our lives for the better if we are given opportunities to succeed. Many of us will suffer moments of defeat, moments of heartache, cultural moments of significance, and situations of joy that beg to be shared. As a therapist, I facilitate the success of others by creating a space for hope, empowerment, passion, and sorrows. I desire to help others to become their best selves.

Making the first step is the most difficult but the most rewarding. Do you possess an open mind? Do you desire personal growth? Have you started to think that "something has to change?" I am here for you. Let us explore your full potential with a goal-oriented mindset.
