Individuals often struggle with managing the stress in their lives which can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, and unhealthy behaviors. Distress can arise from work, life transitions, relationships, and difficult emotions. We can find ourselves reacting in the same ways, experiencing the same agonizing feelings, and being in the same difficult circumstances. The goal is to understand your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, use that information to minimize suffering, have healthier relationships with others and yourself, achieve your life goals, and feel a sense of agency to live the life you deserve. I explore your relationships, emotional injuries, and behavior patterns to see how growth and change are possible. My goal is to help you succeed in creating a life with less suffering, to be able to manage your problems better and to be more sturdy in the face of challenges that lie ahead. I use a combination of depth work and skills-based approaches. I believe that our well-being is determined by our relationships with others, our environment, and ourselves. Relief can come from understanding your past traumas and how they show up in the present, affecting the choices you make. Therapy can help you to transform into the person you want to be and improve the overall quality of your life with confidence.
