Living and enjoying your life with greater degrees of wholeness, love, freedom and creativity is possible. But you feel stuck in unhealthy patterns of relating to yourself and others. Maybe a traumatic event or life history keeps you frozen in time and in distress. Perhaps your sense of wonder and awe at being alive is diminished and you long for meaning. Maybe you find that you're living through a maze of symptoms like depression and anxiety. You wonder if it's safe enough to talk to someone and be heard in a non-judgmental way.
Therapy works best when it rests in a relationship of trust and mutuality between you and your therapist. Healing and change are relational and therapy is a process that opens up possibilities, co-creating new ways of making one's way through the world that are hopeful.
My approach to working with clients is to conscientiously create a safe and non-judgmental space to explore the issues that bring you to therapy. My style is one of empathy, understanding and intentional listening. My practice is collaborative, creating dialogue that leads to insight, and fosters therapeutic change.
