I encourage the development of insight, self-understanding, self-acceptance, and self-compassion so that individuals can feel empowered to make choices which support their own satisfaction and well-being.

It is an all too common human experience to invite tremendous pain into our lives as a result of self shaming for our past experiences and through fear based predictions of what the future holds. We tend to relentlessly find fault with ourselves and others through these habitual ways of seeing resulting in ongoing suffering. This fuels feelings of unworthiness which can keep us stuck, lacking hope, and disconnected from ourselves and those we care for.

Life can be difficult, and sometimes we need someone to share our thoughts with. We have all gotten to a place where we can’t avoid our painful feelings any longer, and need a safe space to sort them out. If you are having a major crisis; a phase of life problem that has lingered on too long; or somewhere in between—let’s take the time to figure things out. Depending on your level of exploration, we can use different modalities (art, movement, guided meditation) or talk therapy to meet your needs. Together we can find out where you came from and who you want to be. I also offer holistic group therapy www.realeyestruth.org
