Mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, burnout and grief can be debilitating. The hardest part is taking the first step and asking for “help.” Most of us like to think of ourselves as independent, competent and “tough.” Asking for help and attending therapy doesn’t mean that we are not those things. At some point in life, we all struggle with painful emotions and intrusive thoughts. You are not just another appointment on the schedule and my goal is to build a ...

Our experiences shape how we think, feel, and participate in the world. From individual personality, to family of origin, to cultural context, the interaction of internal and external can result in feelings of depression or anxiety, difficulty in relationships, or confusion about identity. Sometimes all that’s needed is short-term help that focuses on developing better coping skills, and other times deep, long-term, insight-oriented work is necessary to disentangle complex lifelong difficulties....
The Journey to Your Internal Compass Starts with One Step. We cannot control what happens to us, but we can control how we respond. It takes courage to seek help for personal struggles. Therapy is like having a compass. The compass provides a sense of safety for travelers as they know they can rely on it to always point them in the right direction. With a compass—any compass—we can always pause for a moment in time and take stock of where we are so that we can continue to grow and change. A...
