Individual Counseling and Psychotherapy

If you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, hopeless, irritable, anxious or fearful I can help you gain control over your life. I will show you how therapy can help you change the negative feelings, beliefs and behaviors which hold you back. Our brains have a capacity for change and adaptation – known as neuroplasticity – throughout our lifetime. We do not have to stay stuck in old and ineffective ways of living and interacting with others!

Some people predictably find themselves feeling emotionally overwhelmed from the stress of a major life event such as divorce, unemployment, starting college, or a traumatic illness or accident, but even positive events such as marriage or parenthood can be stressful and emotionally overwhelming. Other people notice that they bump up against the same types of problems in their life again and again, but they do not understand why or what to do differently. Still others feel like they have been struggling all of their life, perhaps due to a past trauma, and they want to feel better but they don’t know where to start.

But, sometimes all you need is an “Emotional Tune-Up.” Perhaps you have hit a bump in the road and you:

• Would like to refine your direction, values and focus in life;
• Need stress management tools you can quickly put into practice; or
• Want to strengthen interpersonal skills and connection in personal and work relationships.

No matter what issue brings you in, I provide a compassionate and safe environment in which to start making positive changes so you can get the most out of your life!
