Counseling for People Going through Different Phases of Life

*I’m accepting new clients for telehealth appointments.

Are you living below your potential?

Hi, I’m Sunny. As we go through life, we sometimes realize we are having a crisis of identity: as we grow and change, we may discover that our values conflict with the way we were raised. We may be living according to the way we ought to be based on society’s standards, but we know deep down this has never worked for us. The coping skills that used to work are no longer adaptive.

How we view ourselves and our roles in life matter. I’m all about helping you overcome emotional and mental roadblocks that are keeping you from living the life you want.

Telling your story 

A bit about me: I’m a big fan of comics and superhero fiction. Maybe it’s because the hero’s journey is relatable to so many people. The hero struggles with losses, grief, and setbacks, but goes on to develop character, strength and ultimately triumphs as a result of the pain. While real life is not as dramatic and change often less abrupt and permanent (and with fewer capes), therapy can help you re-define how life has been and how you’d like to move forward. When the narrative you’ve been telling yourself has limited you in how you think, feel and respond to situations, then together, we can rewrite your story to better fit the life you want to live.

People I work with

I have a particular interest in working with people going through life transitions or an identity crisis. That’s because change has a way of disrupting the status quo of who we are, who we have been and who we want to become. In other words, it creates an opportunity for something new. 

I have also enjoyed working with people with military experience and men who feel pressured to conform to society’s definition of what it means to be a man. Notions such as “don’t show weakness” or “depend on no one” can stifle emotional intelligence and cause rifts in relationships.

It’s about damn time we step out of the mold.

Early birds and early afternoon appointments

I do my best work in the early part of the day and offer appointments before you head in to work or in between meetings and classes. 

Here are my hours:

Mondays - 7:30am to 2pm
Tuesdays - 7:30am to 2pm
Wednesdays - 7:30am to 2pm
Thursdays - 7:30am to 2pm

Stories have power. Don’t be defined by the narratives that no longer serve you.
