Services
Individual Therapy.
We will work closely together to understand your underlying needs that contribute to your emotions and outlook on the world. Individual therapy sessions typically last for 50 minutes once a week, but this can change depending on your needs and wants.
Couples Therapy.
In couples therapy, we will work together as a team to understand the unhealthy dynamics of the relationship that is causing distress and putting pressure on each partner. We will practice using a variety of different techniques to build trust between partners and to increase the positivity within the relationship.
Telehealth.
These online sessions are great for people who have a chaotic schedule and not have enough time in the day to get the help they need, offered on a HIPAA-compliant service to ensure optimal security and privacy. More and more people are starting to use Telehealth visits because of the ease and convenience they offer.
Philosophy
It is not uncommon for us to cling to belief systems that ultimately do not serve us. We bend over backwards to project a façade of confidence, dependability, and accomplishment in an attempt to live up to society’s standards and our own standards. We give endlessly to our jobs, our families, and our communities to the point of utter exhaustion. Despite all the hard work we put forth, we often feel deeply unfulfilled and empty on the inside. Although we achieve a level of success according to the standards of our modern society, we never quite feel that we are strong enough, skilled enough or attractive enough. This often leads to exhaustion, loneliness, and emotional pain that just won’t go away.
Be assured that you are not alone, and you have the power within you to shift this unhealthy dynamic! Therapy can truly transform your life. It can shift your perspective and allow you to pinpoint the beliefs and behaviors that work for your needs. I can help you reach your more joyful and authentic self so that you can truly relish the life you have worked hard to build and feel more connected to your family, friends, partner and community. Therapy can help you understand that guilt plays a toxic role in how you feel and behave, and that investing in yourself means building yourself up so that you can truly be there for your loved ones.
I provide a safe space for you to unpack and overcome your fears, negative self-talk, and traumas. I will help you focus on positive actions to change your life for the better. I offer tangible strategies to elevate your functioning at home, at work and in the community for a more satisfying and fulfilling life. Let’s work together to see new possibilities!
