"Imagine how liberating it would be to live an authentic life! In this life, you would live according to your values. Your strengths and talents - your entire identity - would be defined by you, not others. You would accept and appreciate who you are, feeling comfortable in your own skin. The dreams you'd follow would be your own, not the ones pushed on you by others. If you're capable of imagining such a life, you're just as capable of making it a reality."

"Are you stuck? Same problems, same thoughts? Unable to play, or imagine something different? Depression, anxiety, addictions and trauma require another person to help you understand their pull and face them, so they no longer control your life. Suffering alone only forces the pain underground to emerge in symptoms, behaviors and personal interactions that undermine your life. Therapy is a relationship where you can feel safe and free to be who you are with another person to explore what you want without shame and fear."

"Experience has taught me that there is no single script for a successful therapeutic endeavor. You bring to each encounter exactly what you are experiencing in the moment. You may arrive looking for clarity, healing, or hope. Our task is to clear some space to enable new thoughts and perspectives to emerge. Insight can lead to change, but not always in a straight line. Our ongoing conversation is the place of discovery, dynamic struggle, and meaning making, all of which contribute to new ways of relating and perceiving."
