Among all the things we want for ourselves, perhaps happiness tops the list for most. But life may not always turn out the way we expect, and that can hurt. There may be times when we feel stuck, angry, lost, confused, unhappy, or overwhelmed. What do we do then? In such times, I like to remind myself that “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional” (Haruki Murakami). This perspective offers us strength to move towards inner healing and positive change. Seeking therapy is brave work, and a beautiful way to practice self-love; when you truly love yourself, you value who you are and can grow towards the best version of yourself.

Do you ever wonder what feeling different or positive change would look like? Accessing help can be a challenging yet a simple process depending on the different walks of life we come from. Whether you are having difficulty coping with an event that happened in the past or present, feeling stuck, sad, overwhelmed, worried about the future, want to break the cycle of an unhelpful pattern that is impacting your life, managing avoidance, or improve relationships, we will work together to develop strategies towards achieving your goals at your pace. I will partner with you to refine and align your intentions for personal growth!
