Life Transitions
Life transitions are a normal part of your human journey. Sometimes they can be challenging and cause stress. Whether you just graduated from college, recently moved to a new city, changing careers, preparing for parenthood or marriage, or chasing a dream, these are all big changes that can be difficult to take on alone. If you need support to get through a difficult transition in your life, I encourage you to give me a call. Let's talk about it. I am ready to meet you where you are, to listen to your fears and concerns, to help you recognize your strengths, and to help you realize your personal goals and dreams.
Relationship Issues
Challenges arise in relationships of every kind. It is not uncommon. Sometimes, challenges can even help us grow closer in our relationships with others, depending on how we respond. Better understanding our thoughts and feelings when facing a challenge or conflict is the first step towards responding and communicating in a healthy way. Healthy relationships depend on healthy communication. Individual therapy can be a great place to start this process. If you feel ready for that step I invite you to reach out, so we can work together on improving the relationships in your life.
Schizophrenia & other psychotic disorders
Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders are highly stigmatized and misunderstood. Psychotherapy can help you understand your condition, assist you in learning ways to manage your symptoms, improve your social functioning and achieve personal life goals. It’s okay to feel afraid. If you are afraid, your reasons for experiencing fear are valid. But you do not have to go through this alone. Talk therapy can effectively provide you with social and emotional support to help lead a stable and meaningful life. Psychotic disorders can cause many cognitive, emotional, and social challenges, but this does not take away your human potential to enjoy life, to experience pleasure and to achieve success. This condition does not need to take away your human potential to live your dreams.
