It may be one distressing event that’s bringing you into therapy such as going through a break-up or moving to a new city. For others it might be a series of challenging life events that have overwhelmed your normal capacity to cope.

You may be curious about behavior patterns that you’ve been stuck in for awhile and haven’t been able to make progress on such as continuously picking the wrong partner or getting anxious and insecure in relationships. Perhaps you’ve achieved financial and career success but it’s not as fulfilling as you imagined and you’re not sure what to do next.  You want to find a long-term committed relationship but you’re struggling with dating and feel like you’re falling behind your peers. Maybe you did find that person but are facing challenges in your marriage or you are grappling with being on your own again after a break-up or divorce.

Having the time each week to process your thoughts and experiences with a professional gives you a fresh perspective. It can help you realize things you may not have known and thus open new paths for you to take. With the information that we uncover together, we would explore how you could do things differently to change old patterns and find new ways of relating to yourself, to others and to life.
