About
You already possess the ability to reach your full potential. My job as your therapist is to listen, walk alongside you, and help you move toward this potential. People seek therapy because they desire happiness. Let's begin by discovering what happiness looks like for you. Do you feel unheard, dismissed and over-ridden by a parent or partner even though you are an adult? Do you feel as though attempting to set new boundaries for yourself is next to impossible because important others will simply disregard them? Therapy can help you learn to fully validate within yourself what it is you feel and believe, and what it is you consider to be important. Peace, authenticity, and balance are springboards to happiness. My goal is to offer you individualized help in overcoming the obstacles that are blocking that happiness. Taking a step, reaching out for some help, will lead you to the change and growth you are hoping for. And whether you are seeking thriving relationships or simply greater contentment, I will help you tap into your own innate strengths to bring about a fuller, happier life.
I can help you to harness your individual strengths through an integrated, person-centered approach. I also help you to understand just how much impact your assumptions, beliefs, and thoughts are having on your life satisfaction. I especially enjoy working with issues stemming from what you may have learned within the family you grew up in whether this is difficulty in asserting your needs, over-functioning, or codependency and ineffective communication. I can also help you learn to avoid toxic relationships and to set and maintain healthy boundaries. Greater contentment is attainable!
My holistic approach is directed toward individual needs, but within a relational context. My professional interests include, trauma-related issues (including combat-related PTSD), family-of-origin issues (for example, strained family relationships stemming from difficulties experienced in childhood), codependence/self-actualization, depression/anxiety, and self-worth issues including those stemming from ADHD-related struggles. I know how challenging and overwhelming overcoming personal obstacles can seem, yet it is amazing how achievable these changes are once you've simply made a beginning!
