We all live in a world of stories...The meaning we attach to these stories become a template of how we feel about ourselves. The emotional outcome of this thinking can be depression, anxiety and at other times, happiness. What is the meaning of these stories? I believe facts bring us to knowledge, but stories lead us to wisdom. Therapy is a creative and supportive process of getting to know your true self, of re-authoring the old story and writing a new one. Discover who you are... apart from the problem, and find an unexpected path to build inner strength and resources.
We all have within us access to a greater wisdom, but we may not know this until we speak out loud. In a place that feels safe enough for us to talk about what is really going on in our lives without fear of being judged, abandoned, or criticized. I bring to therapy a combination of insight, intuition, emotional support and guidance.
Therapy can be done through visual storytelling (Art Therapy), writing, and talking with a therapist. Someone who attends to you with acceptance, support and genuine curiosity, exploring how you make sense of your world. A relationship based on what is in your best interest, all the while traveling on this journey of self-discovery.
