It is not difficult in today's world to feel a sense of isolation - either because you live on your own, or because it can be a challenge to really connect with others around you. We will examine and work to overcome what may drive your social isolation, whether that is not finding a place to fit in, lacking ways to connect with like-minded others, or other physical or mental health barriers to being connected.

Psychologist, PhD
Wow, post COVID there is a lot of social isolation. Some of it may be fear of infection, but most of it is just because we lost our routine social activities and the friends we used to see all the time. I can help you figure out how to purposely find good matching friends who have similar values, are like-minded, and who enjoy doing the things you like to do. When anxiety sets in I can help you manage that so you can still live your best life. I have helped many people develop new social networks, whether because of relocation. change in life circumstance, or just because they outgrew their old social network. It's scary but so worth it when you find your tribe.
