In life, suffering is inevitable. Although you cannot avoid the  challenges that life may bring, you can learn how to cope and overcome your difficulties. With a willingness to encounter, accept and understand yourself and your problems, you can begin to see the possibilities of change and even transform yourself in a meaningful way.   In my practice of psychotherapy, along with providing attuned listening, feedback and education, I am committed to help you ease your mental suffering and restore your emotional well being.

To ease suffering, I will assist and support you to accomplish the following as needed:

• Stay present focused and stop obsessing about the past or worrying about the future
• Learn to establish healthier psychological boundaries in your relationships
• Practice compassion and detach from judgmental self-criticisms which don't serve your mental well being
• Stop reliving painful memories of traumatic events in the past
• Translate insight and awareness into action and make positive behavioral changes in your daily life
• Recognize distorted, negative thoughts and replace them with more functional, positive ones
• Discern what is within your control and what is beyond your control- let go of what is beyond your control and actively address what is within your control
