My therapy style focuses on my belief that you are competent and capable. I believe you are more aware of what needs to happen for change to occur, than the you may realize. At times, people become stuck in unproductive ways of doing things and have trouble seeing other options. I also feel that people sometimes continually hear that they are not capable or create a negative story about the situation. It than makes it difficult to view their lives from another perspective.

Maya Angelou said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” I agree! Our stories are a part of who we are, and they shape our experiences.

I use an attachment-focused lens to help you understand how your life experiences have shaped your current relationships and sense of self, so you can feel confident in your next chapter because you know the author.
