History

Established in 2013.

Have you been counting on your achievements and successes to make you happy? Do you feel confused and deflated when you get that job, that date, that degree and you’re still anxious or depressed? Ever wonder when you’ll get to feel happy, when that inner critic voice will stop beating you up?

There is another way to live, a way to be ambitious and smart and successful without being miserable, stressed out, self-​critical. I can guide you in making tangible changes for the better, and uncover hidden strengths you never knew were there. I specialize in working with perfectionism and «inner critic» issues, and the anxiety or depression that often comes with them.

I work with both short-​term and long-​term clients, for symptom relief and for in-​depth personal growth. I have particular expertise with young adults, teens, and men. I specialize in working with smart, creative, high achievers, and people who are cynical or skeptical about therapy.

Meet the Business Owner

Ann Marie D.

Business Owner

I get what you’re going through. I deeply understand the pain of anxiety and self-​criticism, the hopeless feeling of depression, the loneliness of relationships going awry or never getting going at all. I also know there are ways out of this suffering – ways that are hard to find on your own – and that finding the right therapist can make all the difference.

I know how frustrating it can be to have a therapist who «just sits there.» That’s not me. I ask questions, I work with you to find solutions. When it’s helpful to you, I share what I’ve learned from all my varied life experiences: living all over the U.S. and abroad, working in careers as diverse as magazine editor and guide dog trainer.

I engage your intellect with thought-​provoking questions, and help you make connections you didn’t see before. I guide you in unfolding your own narrative, making sense of the story of your life. I also help you tune in to your body and emotions, using mindfulness tools and meditation techniques.
