Why Therapy?
Do you desire a meaningful relationship with yourself and others? Are life challenges impacting your quality of life? If so, you are not alone and therapy can provide you with the guidance and support needed to move toward mental, physical, and emotional balance for a healthier more successful life. Seeking mental health treatment is an important decision and finding the right psychologist is crucial to treatment outcome. Creating a strong and positive therapeutic relationship requires the creation of a “working alliance.” In other terms, creating a strong therapeutic collaborative relationship is of paramount importance in the process of change and a key ingredient towards your progress in therapy. I focus on providing a safe and supportive environment and creating a space of acceptance, warmth, and understanding. While being supportive, I’ll also challenge you to acknowledge and confront unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviors that are interfering with your personal goals.
Common Issues
Anxiety

Men’s Issues
Do you feel pressured to meet masculinity expectations set by your culture and society? Do you want to break through gender restrictions and experience your full human potential? Do you desire to form meaningful lasting relationships? Are you searching for your true purpose?
Why Join A Group
Group is a safe and supportive space where your struggles are explored with the support of other group members with similar experiences. Group members often find comfort in knowing that they are not alone in their struggle and that others are able to understand them in a deeper, more meaningful way. This is a space where you can share your experience of your problems while receiving feedback, support, and suggestions from others. Group therapy is a space that engages individuals’ interpersonal styles thus providing a significant opportunity for you to a) learn who you are and how others perceive you, b) try new behaviors and new ways of being, and c) get honest, direct feedback about how others perceive you. This is a space where you are encouraged to take risks and to challenge yourself to look at your behaviors, look at your reactions, and understand more fully who you are as a social being and as an individual. The more you put yourself into the process the more you will get out of it.
