Contemplating therapy can feel like a daunting decision – but it doesn’t have to be.  Exploring options when you feel stressed out, overwhelmed, or in need of support is even more demanding than seeking help when you feel well.  Learning more about yourself, developing coping strategies to help you through challenging times, and finding support can be immensely rewarding and beneficial.  Most people can benefit from one-on-one attention to their mental health and well-being.  See how goal-oriented therapy can work for you, and how we can work together to accomplish your goals.  I hope you will spend some time exploring what my practice offers.
