It can be very challenging to see things clearly in life. I help individuals re-adjust their way of looking at themselves, their relationships, and the world. Through psycho-dynamic exploration, I come alongside in the discovery of what is possible, as it is my belief that the most crucial part of therapy is the relationship that builds between patient and therapist. It is often easier to shine a light into uncertain areas of one's heart and mind when someone else is holding the flashlight.

Relationships are complex & it may be time to explore how you have been impacted by past unhealthy relationships. You may feel as if you are not enough, a bother or annoyance to your family. Often seeking acceptance from the family even though you know it may not happen. The struggle one has towards being accepted by family members in order to feel as if you are good enough can often feel unbearable or never ending. Survivors of past damaged relations can make one feel as if you have no worth or value & leave you struggling to identify this worth & seeking approval from others. You are not alone in these thoughts & feelings.
