Individual Psychotherapy & Counseling
Disruptive Life Transitions
Life is unpredictable and often does not turn out as we had hoped for and planned. The things that matter most to us -- our health, marriages, children, careers, families, friends and even our own self-identity -- sometimes fall apart. It is my belief that such moments of vulnerability present profound opportunities for growth. It takes strength and emotional intelligence to know when you need the assistance of a professional; coming to therapy is a positive first stride towards investing in your happiness.
Grief/Bereavement
There are few experiences as painful as losing someone you love. It disrupts many aspects of your life including your mental, emotional and physical sense of well-being. As a grief and bereavement specialist, I will help you understand this disruption and regain a sense of balance in your life. Grief is a normal response to loss, but sometimes the feelings go on for too long or affect our ability to function, connect with others, and enjoy life. Sometimes an unresolved grief from long ago may cause problems later, during stressful or challenging times. Having a strong support system, someone you can talk with who is not emotionally involved, is helpful during these difficult times.
Compassion Fatigue
Unique mental health challenges can often effect individuals in high-pressure careers, including healthcare, law, and academia. The intensity of these jobs often lead to relationship problems, anxiety about performance, stress, exhaustion, and burnout. I can help you understand the reasons behind your roadblocks, and work with you to develop the skills and techniques you need to overcome them.
Sexual Identity/Lifestyle/LGBTQ+
Sexuality & Sexual Orientation: Exploring romantic and erotic attraction, practices, and any challenges; this includes support with the “coming out” process and with integrating sexuality into one’s life.
Alternative Lifestyles & Relationships: Support with the stress and challenges of being part of a non-traditional family and/or partnership.
