Do you struggle with finding or maintaining inner peace in specific areas of your life or, in life in general? Do you experience unhappiness or dissatisfaction with your life? Therapy may help you identify the blocks in your life that keep you from living and experiencing life as you desire. Left unchecked and unexamined, negative dynamics rooted in our past and/or fears & anxiety about the future may progress with greater consequence and/or disillusionment about life. I strive to understand your experience(s) in order to form a genuine connection and to identify meaningful solutions that honor you and your highest life aspirations.
You are the priority in this connection. I will utilize sound therapeutic principles to gain understanding of your experience, your sense of self, your sense of connection with others and within the world. Whether situational short-term issues or longterm issues & life patterns, I am committed to connecting with you to identify an approach that honors you.
If you are experiencing aspects of life that continually result in dissatisfaction and negatively impact the quality of your life, and, if you have been unable to bring about the desired changes on your own, please reach out for a free consultation in order to explore options that can offer sound solutions to meet your needs and goals in life.
