Building momentum towards change and turning it into action can be difficult. It can even feel impossible. We all have moments of doubt, self-criticism, and feelings of emotional unrest. Whether it is rooted in infancy, adulthood, or anywhere in between, emotional pain from the past can very easily reverberate into our present and future. Therapy is a means towards forging a new relationship with self and the larger system we operate in. Whether you are struggling with post-traumatic stress, addiction, building intimacy in relationships, responding to emotions, or the stress of being human, it is important to know you are relatable.
As a therapist, I believe you are welcome to not just have those difficult experiences but also grow adaptively from them. Through therapeutic partnerships my goal is to help build a deeper understanding and empowerment within you to help create adaptive solutions for everyday life.
Having worked with individuals struggling with addiction, mood disorders, trauma, and intimacy, I respect the difficulty that comes with recognizing a need for change. That being said, I welcome a phone call for a free consultation to explore how we may work together towards the change you want.
