I hold a deep priority to ensure my clients feel witnessed and accepted.

Like clinical psychologist and educator Lisa Damour, I believe sustainable mental health is about two things:

• Having feelings that befit the situations we find ourselves in

• Managing those emotions as well as we can

While our lives would be much smoother if we felt calm, balanced and happy all the time, we know that’s just not realistic.

Over time, therapy can help us identify our behavioral patterns and emotional triggers, integrate our unconscious and conscious desires, and develop personalized tools for resiliency.
