What’s brought you to therapy is unique to you, and our time together is tailored to your needs and dedicated to developing your inner resources for change. Perhaps life seems meaningless and empty; like nothing matters and your potential is unfulfilled. Or you feel stuck – in your life, in your relationship, on something in the past, or in some pattern that leaves you feeling like you just can’t get out of your own way. We all want to live the fullest life possible, and therapy is a valuable and powerful route to worthwhile change.
With patience, acceptance, and humor, I seek to bring awareness to why we feel and behave in the often painful and self-defeating ways we do. Together, we can think through and understand your inner motives and patterns that no longer serve you, explore new ways of engaging with yourself and others, and open your life to greater possibility.
My approach is simple, direct, and from-the-heart. The space is yours to speak, think, and feel freely and my job, above all else, is to listen to is to listen to you deeply and without judgment. The better your self-understanding, the clearer relief will become and the better access you will have to freedom, resilience, spontaneity, and purpose.
