"We cannot undo our old mistakes or their consequences any more than we can erase old wounds that we have both suffered and inflicted, but through the power that memory gives us of thinking, feeling, imagining our way back through time we can at long last finally finish with the past in the sense of removing its power to hurt us and other people and to stunt our growth as human beings." This quote, by Frederick Buechner, speaks to what therapy can unearth. We can't "undo our mistakes" or "erase old wounds." We can live free, healed, courageous lives.

My approach begins with the belief that the human experience is to know both joy and pain, & every variation of emotion in-between, often in the same moment. I believe that which has been wounded in relationship must be healed in relationship. In order for your true self to emerge it must be witnessed. Just as our deepest glory must be held, so too must our wounds. In these places we will engage a posture of curiosity of how those wounds have impacted your style of relating and the ways you have had to adapt to cope.

Are you trapped in a complex family and/or work situation? If both, there may be a similar pattern of causes even in dissimilar situations. Understanding complexity can identify basic hidden patterns. Some clients experience chronic or acute physical illnesses: these are clues to unraveling the complexities. Emotional and physical problems may be a surface expression of buried family or personal trauma. For my clients, discovering patterns embedded in family behaviors can help them manage their current problematic situations. Psychotherapy can help clients move forward in systems that seem beyond their control.

Life can be overwhelming, and Western culture does not readily offer the tools to help us navigate the impact. We end up carrying stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression in our bodies, and if the the cycle continues, we can end up burnt out. In the confusion, we may turn toward substances, behaviors, and other strategies to cope, which ultimately leave us more burdened than before. As hopeless as things can seem, there are always opportunities to change your inner and outer patterns. Over time, these small changes can redirect your life toward alignment, fulfillment, and ease grounded in the present moment.

**Currently full - not accepting new clients** Life satisfaction is most closely correlated to the quality of relationships you have with others & most importantly, the quality of relationship you have with yourself. These can both be improved by better understanding your past & adapting how you respond in the present. Together, we practice new ways of experiencing difficult emotions to make them more manageable & less threatening. We will explore & better understand the stories you hold of who you ARE, who you SHOULD be, & how these formed over time which can result in increased self-understanding & self-compassion.
