We must first accept where, what, and who we are in the present moment before seeking to change ourselves or our situation. In therapy, you'll learn how to access your inner wisdom and regain a sense of control over your thoughts and emotions. Our society is filled with contradicting messages that infiltrate our thoughts and alter our beliefs, goals, and behaviors. On a daily basis, we’re expected to stay connected, but limit screen time; be conscious of what you put in your body, but don’t restrict; be a leader, but don’t be bossy; do your best, but don’t be a perfectionist; be expressive, but not dramatic.

My goal is to find the best approach that will work for you, maximizing the benefit you will receive in therapy.

Life's journey can be challenging, even for the strongest among us. In today's often unforgiving world, we may find it daunting and cold, sometimes feeling like we're just trying to "get through" it.
