Psychotherapy is a process of learning to listen to, care for and heal the pained parts of ourselves that burden our mind, body, heart and spirit. Including the body in this process is essential, as it carries our pain. This is not always easy, but is certainly self-empowering and life-changing.

Life, amidst its transcendent beauty, can at times be challenging, leaving us feeling lost and searching for meaning. Sometimes these feelings are triggered by a specific event, such as the death of a loved one, a major life transition, a breakup or a traumatic experience. Other times, we just can’t seem to pinpoint the catalyst for these emotions. Therapy can be one tool to help during these times. I believe that the role of the therapist is to provide a secure relationship that can be utilized for personal growth, self-reflection and long-lasting change.
