Consideration of entering therapy can feel like an overwhelming task, especially if you are struggling, feeling like "nothing will change", in transition or have been hurt in previous relationships. I provide a safe, trusting and non-judgmental environment in which we work together on your challenges. While I bring knowledge and experience to our work, you are the expert on you: your goals and feedback on the process will drive our work together. Clients have provided me with excellent feedback, stating that I am open, empathic and good-natured about the difficulties of change.
I am experienced in working with adults struggling with mood disorders and trauma, including: nervousness/anxiety; irritability with anything and everyone; chronic depression; and feeling "defective" and fearing rejection. Overwhelming emotions frequently lead to destructive behaviors. We will work on alleviating symptoms and bringing meaning to your life.
My path to this work was by no means linear. Prior to graduate school, I worked in financial services, consulting and small, creative shops. It took me "a bit" to find my way into rewarding, lifelong work. Change - and, therefore, psychotherapy - is hard work. We all foible in trying to do better. I approach our work together with both seriousness and humor.
