The longest and most important relationship we will ever have is the one we have with ourselves. I focus on helping clients break free from negative self-talk, identify strengths, cultivate self-compassion, trust their inner voice, and improve the way they relate to themselves. The goal of this work is learning to radically accept and appreciate our unique light within.

The impact of depression and anxiety can be debilitating. Both can affect how you think, feel, interact with people, and handle daily life. Psychotherapy offers a safe space to explore the kinds of inner and outer experiences that contribute to how you're feeling. Together we can work on finding clarity, sparking motivation, and reconnecting with joy. We will develop customized tools to help with mood regulation, allowing you to live with more ease.

Even positive change can produce significant stress. Whether it's marriage, changes in schooling or employment, transitioning into adulthood, family planning, new parenthood, moving to a new home, divorce, retirement, or transitioning into the "empty nest" phase, therapy can help you navigate these changes and empower you to feel more in control of your new circumstances.

Coping with the loss of someone or something that you love is one of life's biggest challenges.  The pain of loss can feel overwhelming, and you may experience very difficult and unexpected emotions that can make it difficult to eat, sleep, or feel present in your life. Therapy can offer you space to honor and process your grief and can support you as you move through the grieving process.

Many people experience symptoms of anxiety, fear, hypervigilance, dissociation, and hopelessness associated with a painful or traumatic event or experience. Psychotherapy can help you process your feelings, give you the opportunity to face your fears in a safe space, and develop healthy coping strategies that can help you to feel like yourself again. 

People tend to assume that parenting comes naturally, when for most it doesn't. Even if you have a good understanding of what it takes to be a good parent, some challenges are unavoidable. At any stage of the parenting process, therapy can offer tools to help you improve interconnection, manage stress, set healthy limits, understand your child's developmental needs, and improve how you feel about your role as a parent.
