Does this describe you?
You are “successful” enough, but you’ve never been able to shake that feeling that there’s something wrong. Maybe it’s imposter syndrome. Maybe it’s ADHD. Maybe if you can just find the right label, someone will be able to help you figure out why you’re suffering.
You have a loving family and good relationships, but you feel like you can’t get the deep sense of love and connection you crave. Sometimes it feels like the people you care about are constantly hurting you without realizing it. At times you feel like you don’t know if you can trust anyone, or anything. At times you feel angry at the world or at the people you love, and at times you feel angry at yourself. Sometimes even when nothing is wrong, you don’t feel okay.
If this sounds familiar, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s talk.

How can I help?
Relational, emotionally focused therapy a is way to experience relational dynamics in an environment where you are supported and resourced. It’s an opportunity to learn new skills for connecting that can be applied throughout your life.
Improve Relationships
Build
Self-Awareness
In therapy, you are invited to see yourself in new ways. With support, you’ll develop an understanding of recurring thoughts, feelings, and relational patterns that influence you. With time, you can change those patterns.
You don’t have to go it alone. Having the support of someone who listens and cares can be deeply healing: research consistently shows that psychotherapy is an effective treatment for symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Reduce Anxiety & Depression
It can be hard to see yourself clearly and positively when self-criticism gets in the way. Therapy can help you acknowledge your strengths, develop a more coherent self-concept, and can increase your self-esteem and self-worth.
Increase Self-Esteem
“You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.”
— Mary Oliver
