Every person has their own unique process of healing and growth. Psychotherapy is a valuable pathway towards finding balence and wholeness in your life. As your therapist, I approach my work with profound respect for your individual nature, values, and beliefs. Psychotherapy is essentially a collaborative process, in which we work together to explore the difficulties you're facing and to find solutions that will work for you. When the essence of your 'self' is truly understood, real possibilities for meaningful change can emerge. My goal is to support your journey as you move towards a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Past stories can create painful realities that can affect the present life. It can be extremely easy to beat ourselves up for things we do/did to survive pain. Now... imagine what it would look like to transform that old story into an empowering new beginning? A quote that truly resonates with my work is from Rumi: “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” Whether you're seeking therapy or life coaching to resolve trauma or looking to process challenges that arise throughout your day to day life, I can help find understanding through empowerment and insight so you can live the life you are determined to live.

While some individuals enter therapy with acute distress and specific problems that need to be addressed; others have a more vague feeling of discontent. In either case, the self-exploration of analytic work is meant to expand the way one thinks and feels. Learning to think creatively is one way to describe the goal of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. WIth guidance, an individual learns to hold the tension of multiple perspectives/emotions resulting in a flexibility of thinking that involves both analytic and imaginative parts of the mind. This "full thinking" can be applied to personal life issues, relationships and creative pursuits.
