The therapeutic relationship can be an invaluable opportunity to foster growth, take intelligent risks, and rewrite unhelpful narratives. Often the most important and difficult changes in life are internal. Moreover, the most critical changes can begin with the acceptance of a painful reality. Sometimes it is helpful to explore these realities with a supportive individual who has some distance from the situation. I find the most successful clients are curious about their own beliefs and feelings. While they want to be challenged, they also believe in the necessity of self-compassion.

In my practice, I believe that the brain, body, and spirit are affected by the things that have happened to us. I invite you to share your unique story in a space of understanding and without judgment, and have hope we can rebuild a new, meaningful life.
