WELCOME!

If some of life’s many obstacles have been overwhelming you, this could understandably result in emotional pain, confusion or an overall feeling of being stuck. You might feel this as unwelcomed depression, anxiety, or even numbness that might be related to relationship issues, identity challenges, or other junctures in life that can feel frightening and to navigate through on your own.

You might also be at a stage in your life with big decisions to make – around romance, interpersonal relationships, career, retirement, aging, health and more. Or maybe the small day-to-day tasks have felt like too much and have become immobilizing. You might find it difficult to identify and express your feelings and needs effectively, preventing greater personal fulfillment and self-assuredness in your life. These kinds of experiences can leave you unsure of what to do next. My aim is to give you a secure place where all your feelings, thoughts or questions can safely be expressed and explored. This happens as I provide a non-judgmental space for examining and unleashing what has been standing in the way of your greater satisfaction and success. By using psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and strength-based therapeutic principles, we will work together to uncover what’s behind all this by looking into the influences that may have shaped your beliefs about yourself — from family, culture, societal messaging and more. This often results in instilled patterns and behaviors that may have been out of your awareness and possibly affected how you view yourself and others.

As we build a safe and trusting therapeutic partnership, I can collaboratively assist you in taking healthy steps to unblock what might have been stuck in order to foster  greater self-awareness, understanding and compassion, and through this invaluable effort, help you move towards greater empowerment and meaning in your daily life.
