We all go through periods of emotional pain, the objective is to break the cycle of suffering which occurs when we use ineffective coping strategies. We cannot always control the events in our lives, we can learn how to manage our reactions to those experiences through developing a greater understanding of our motivations and defense mechanisms. Acceptance and growth is the process that will enable a clearer path to your ideal self and future goals. Lets develop an effective partnership so I may...

I like to view myself as a modern and relatable therapist. I love working with college students because young adulthood is the time in our life with the most changes in comparison to our entire lifespan. It is when we are trying to establish ourselves as individuals, separate from our families and perhaps even the town we grew up in. We are faced with endless opportunities and the freedom may feel scary. Some young adults have feelings of anxiety and depression due to the level of independence a...
Starting therapy means that you've prioritized yourself and your needs, in order to achieve your best self for both you and those around you.

My goal is to help you stop surviving through the day and start thriving. I know what it’s like to endure these life stressors, have to put on a “brave face”, ...

I think about patients from a psychodynamic perspective, and I make liberal use of both psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral techniques. In plain English? In all therapeutic endeavors, I try to maintain a balance between exploring early contributors to current troubles on the one hand -- and, on the other, focusing on present-day patterns that maintain or exacerbate them. I work from the premise that our choices and behavior often have unconscious motivations and unarticulated assumptions. ...

You put on a brave face for others saying, "I'm fine", suffer in silence and hope time will make things better. The only emotions that can hurt you are the ones you don't acknowledge. Unanticipated life events, relationship struggles, grief or things you "just cannot identify" cause you to feel anxious, isolated, angry, frightened, disconnected or unworthy. You are simply human, like the rest of us, wanting to feel relaxed, connected, engaged, inspired, confident and valued. I invite you to make...
