"Hope begins in the dark; the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work; You don’t give up."
Overcome Your Struggles.
You may be seeking help because of an upsetting event in your life, or you may have struggled with a particular issue for a long time. My approach is relational and collaborative and I'll listen carefully to your thoughts and feelings and work closely with you to find the true reasons and meaning behind your suffering. When these are fully understood you can move through life with more calm, confidence, and clarity..
I offer an empathic, validating therapeutic relationship, allowing you to experience attunement and recognition. By fostering an environment where your emotions are deeply understood, I will help you restore a sense of self-cohesion, enabling you to integrate positive emotional experiences and develop a more stable, valued sense of self.
I'm dedicated to helping my patients. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, a difficult relationship, or simply a hard time in life, I can help you overcome your struggles. I work with individuals and couples of all backgrounds and orientations. Therapy isn't always easy, but it can change your life.
