Depression is not just about feeling sad.  It often includes a loss of pleasure, excessive feelings of guilt, and difficulties with thinking clearly.  I can help you find ways to cope and understand the underlying issues that can cause depression in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

Relationship Issues

Family, friends and romantic partners are important, but sometimes conflict in relationships can cause significant pain.  I can help you communicate effectively, set healthy boundaries, resolve differences, advocate for your needs, and improve the quality of your relationships. 

Anxiety

Do you ever feel that your mind is racing with worry and negativity and it feels impossible to control?  I can help you understand your thought patterns and develop new ways to think and manage your anxiety so you feel at ease again.

Coping Skills

Do you ever feel that your emotions are unbearable or that your behaviors are out of control?  I can help you develop the tools, skills, and strategies  you need to regain a sense of control and to feel relief.

Self-Esteem

Often the way we look, treat, and speak to ourselves is far crueler than what any other person could possibly do or say.  I can help you improve your confidence by exploring the factors that lead to a lower sense of self worth.  From there we can develop ways to reframe negative thoughts about who you are and how you can be kinder to yourself.
