Helping Young Professionals Overcome Anxiety, Enhance Their Relationships, and Thrive in the Workplace

How do we develop different ways of living, restructure our thoughts, and break out of old patterns of behavior that are holding us back?

We are often confused about where to go and what to do in life. But the truth is that each of us has an internal map – an innate inner sense of our goals, of who we are meant to be, and of the life we want to live. The work I do with my clients is all about helping you reclaim that map, brush away the dirt, and re-discover the clarity and direction that have always been hidden within you.

My goal is to help you acknowledge and understand the challenges you are facing, and then empower you to nonetheless be able to live a valued life and to be the person that you want to be.

Workplace Anxiety

Terrified of presentations? Feeling like a fraud? Unsure of how to navigate office politics? So much of one’s life is spent at “the office” and it makes sense that it occupies a lot of headspace. Let’s work on changing your relationship with your career.

Relationship Difficulties

Relationships . . . right?! Maybe you’re an expert at going on first dates but never getting to that second or third. Or you’re in a relationship but can’t decide if you should stay or should you go. In therapy we work, gently, on gaining clarity of what is truly important, improving an understanding of ourselves, and learning how to improve communication.

Generalized Anxiety

Are you constantly waiting for the next shoe to drop? Feeling like you’re treading water, constantly second guessing yourself, and finding that you never have a chance to breathe? It sounds like you have anxiety. That’s okay. Through tools such as mindfulness, self-reflection, and better planning clients learn how to tame the beast.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that we can’t change - but the truth is that, no matter what the external circumstances are, we can be empowered to change ourselves. Through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I can help you understand how, by clarifying and embracing your values, you can fill your life with satisfaction and meaning, regardless of your external circumstances.

Person-Centered Therapy

We all have this internal map that embodies our visions, our goals, and our highest priorities as individuals. Overtime, our internal map tends to get crowded and confusing. Through Client-Centered Therapy, I can help you make better sense of where you are in your personal journey. I can help you better identify your destinations and help you map out a path that will bring you closer to your goals.
