If you are suffering from anxiety or depression, or if you are struggling in relationships or at work, finding support is essential. Finding that supportive and comfortable environment to work towards lasting change can be overwhelming and challenging. My approach is grounded in respect for each person’s unique journey. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them examine and readjust negative thinking patterns and utilize more positive coping skills to deal with life stressors, in a supportive and judgement free space.

In the Buddhist tradition it is noted: "all that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become". This quote reflects my psychological approach to the problems people bring to me. My approach is as pragmatic as it is philosophical, as caring as it is confrontative and as serious as it is humorous. This may sound contradictory but life is not linear and therapy is a microcosm of life. The relationship that develops between a therapist and the client is the heart of the engine of change that defines therapy.

If I were to win the lottery today, my commitment to being a therapist would remain unwavering. For me, it's not just a profession; it's my passion and calling. As Charles R.

Therapy is a wonderful path to help you access inner healing, processing, and expression with the unconditional support of your therapist.

Psychotherapy is a process of self-discovery that will help you connect with your inner life, unbind from the past, and live fully in the present. As you learn about and acknowledge different aspects of yourself, you will find rough spots, as well as resources. All parts of your experience play important roles and we can understand what has been useful, what parts might be modified, as well as parts that offer strength and support that can be built upon. These discoveries remove potential obstacles to your growth and open avenues for connection and well-being.

There are times when we experience upset that feels overwhelming and keeps us from moving forward in a positive way. Occasionally, these feelings can be in response to a specific situation, e.g., a relationship crisis, job, academic or professional circumstance. Having someone support you through these difficult times can be very helpful. Other times people can get into a routine where they seem to repeat the same negative behavior over and over again. Here it is also important to consult with someone who can assist in better understanding and resolving the underlying issues so that there can be a more positive outcome.

To be heard in a non-judgmental, empathic way provides an environment to safely explore your relationship with others and with yourself. To be heard and have that understanding communicated in clear, compassionate terms helps support you while we explore its meaning and consequences. When better ways of dealing with life stressors are discovered, unsuccessful ways of coping are automatically shed and new skills appear.

I've always believed that the person who enters therapy is a brave soul. Coming to therapy means taking a leap of faith that the therapist will hear you and respond with empathy and connect in a way that makes the experience comforting in an environment of acceptance with purpose and growth. The impetus that compels someone to come to therapy may be depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or a general lack of fulfillment in life. You may want to be compassionate to your thriving inner critic. All are a genesis to a new beginning that we will work on together.
