You have been struggling for some time now. Life feels challenging and not in the good way. Maybe you constantly worry, finding it hard to turn your thoughts off and fall asleep. Maybe adjusting to parenthood or another baby has been difficult due to lack of sleep, not feeling like yourself, or parenthood not being what you thought it would be. Or maybe you find yourself lashing out at your loved ones, putting your relationships at risk. If you can relate to any of the above, I can help. I offer individualized treatment to help you live a life that feels meaningful to you, even if you are experiencing uncomfortable symptoms. We start by talking about what is getting in the way of living the life you want. We then utilize tools and techniques that help you create distance from difficult thoughts and feelings so that you can live life according to your values.
