There are times in our lives when we experience emotional distress which makes meeting our everyday responsibilities challenging or interferes with our happiness.  Emotional distress may be due to a transition such as a job loss or even a new profession, the loss of a loved one or the birth of a newborn, a relationship breakup or the start of a new relationship, or it could be trauma you have experienced now manifesting itself as emotional distress in your life.  Emotional distress can take many forms and is often described as depression and/or anxiety.  There are times when we can handle the negative emotions we experience such as sadness, emptiness, loneliness, or anxiousness.  Other times, having someone who can help us navigate our tough emotions is beneficial and often necessary.

As your therapist, I will help you learn ways to decrease the negative feelings you may be experiencing.   In my role, my work will be to help you identify your emotional triggers, help you learn ways to challenge your negative self-talk, help you identify and utilize your strengths, and help you learn healthy coping skills.  Our therapeutic relationship will be one of collaboration.  I cannot do the therapeutic work for you, but I will be there with you on your journey to achieving emotional well-being.
