About me
I am an experienced psychotherapist with the view that therapy does not need to take years to work. With over 20 years of experience, I am actively engaging in sessions with you to conquer what is the present issue and ensure you leave stronger than when you started.
It’s been tough. You are struggling and have tried everything from meditation to herbal supplements, yet you still can’t get past that barrier to your happiness. You may have even tried therapy and although it helped, it still didn’t completely do it for you. Now what?
You are not broken. Often, the general focus in treatment has been on feeling good rather than being good. It is exactly what we are taught since day one. If you are willing to break out of this cycle, we will work together to build your holistic resilience. That is, being able to overcome and adapt to all of life’s adversities. Adversities from the big ones such as a death of a loved one, to the guy who coughed on you on the subway. Imagine being able to ignore that toxic coworker so you can focus on developing your career, or finally feel you are important enough to be cared for so you can develop a deep connection with a life partner.
If you’ve had enough and are willing to refocus your energy for growth, let’s do this! Click to call or email button below to get started.
