Healing from our suffering—not just coping with it, but transforming it into growth—often requires a journey through it. It’s been said that “feelings buried alive never die.” Fear, sadness, rejection—all want acknowledgment so that we will not stay stuck in past pain. Once we bring our experience into the light, our truth can be validated. "My feelings are real." This is an important step in reaching a place of acceptance. Once the fog or confusion lifts, clarity follows and with it the momentum and freedom to finally release, let go, and move forward.
Most people when they approach engagement with therapy first want a caring and listening ear. They want to tell their story because that's where connection begins. Many of us have never really had the experience of someone taking the time to openly listen, not proposing solutions or opinions or judgments. This is the gift I enjoy offering to my clients.
We are truly all connected in the universal experience of being wounded. No one escapes what could be framed as potentially essential to personal growth. As we identify with others in both our joys and sorrows, we can learn to forgive, release, and possibly even recreate the lives we once imagined.

A significant portion of the work I do is correlating current life controlling issues with their roots, typically unresolved family of origin wounds. Once the root is uncovered it becomes easier to target the problem with an appropriate treatment approach. Roots create Fruits. My counseling style is highly interactive, allowing client needs and goals to guide the therapy process .

My treatment approach is eclectic in nature, recognizing that there is no "one size fits all" blueprint to achieve positive outcomes in therapy. Establishing rapport is the first and most important step in the process, in my view, so that is my initial focus.
