Many of my clients enter into therapy with varying levels of ambivalence, fear, and confusion about the therapeutic process. I spend the first sessions getting to know my clients and build a strong therapeutic relationship with them so that they feel safe enough to look deeper into the issues that have brought them into therapy. As the therapeutic process unfolds, I most enjoy helping clients learn to better understand themselves, as well as their environment, and eventually come to a place where they can accept themselves fully. I believe that self-acceptance is the key to living a more fulfilling life.

How ready are you for change? Are you good and sick of feeling stuck and repeating unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and behaviors? Then lets talk. I understand the fear of being trapped in your negative experiences and how helpless that can feel without loving support. Life is as challenging as it is remarkable and respecting how trauma, stress, neglect, or illness are showing up in your body and experience is paramount to healing. Trauma can show up as patterns of protection that keep us stuck in feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, hopelessness, and fear. And keep us from enjoying secure and loving relationships with others.

Many of my clients are high-achieving women who are doing so much—balancing careers or school, caring for their families, and managing everyday responsibilities. On the outside, they seem to have it all together, but inside, they often feel overwhelmed, drained, and weighed down by self-doubt and guilt. Anxiety and exhaustion can make it hard to be fully present and enjoy the moments that matter. They long for more ease, a quieter mind, and deeper, more fulfilling connections with the people they love.

Authentic change happens from the inside out. It can't be veneered onto one's surface. Painful life experiences create a complex web inside that shapes a person's world. This web can limit one's ability to find joy and meaning in life. Psychotherapy offers a way to access deep emotional experience. As therapy proceeds connections will start to appear between past & current life experience. Problematic internal patterns will become visible and open to reevaluation and change. As internal stress decreases, clarity, joy and meaning will have the chance to emerge.
