RELATIONSHIPS….They pretty much run the world, direct your life, and move your heart. Your relationships, especially with your partner, will greatly improve when you learn to communicate better, and begin using some very effective methods to improve your mood, draw more success, and find more peace. COMMUNICATION….How well you communicate with your partner and other people directly determines the quality of your relationships. How well you communicate with yourself—by self-talk, clear thinking, and effective organization—also determines your relationship quality, and just about everything else.

Therapy as a collaborative process in which we work together to understand the problems that have brought you in, and work towards mutually established goals. Psychotherapy involves verbalizing your thoughts and feelings, exploring relational and behavioral patterns, and learning how past experiences may impact you now.

Ultimately, therapy can help individuals come to better understand themselves and enjoy greater choice in their lives.

Life can be highly complex, with obstacles overwhelming the healthiest of minds. The decision to seek counseling is often not an easy one. Successful therapy is more than the absence of symptoms or issues, it is a life enriched with increased self-awareness/compassion/empowerment. I will help you recognize and build upon your strengths, challenging restrictive/limiting beliefs/behaviors, and grow toward wholeness, confidence, and joy. Healing happens in relationships when there's true and honest connections with others, but more importantly within oneself. Finding and using your "inner voice" is often the key needed to begin meaningful change.
