In my counseling practice, I focus on assisting those who are transitioning out of previously intimate relationships and support them as they seek to redefine and rediscover themselves as individuals. This process often involves re-examining one’s self-esteem, self-worth, values, and emotional security, all of which may have been threatened or damaged in former relationships. It is my firmly held clinical and personal belief that, following the ending of a relationship, we all have the choice as to whether we become bitter, or even better, as a result of our life’s experiences.
By making changes that YOU decide are healthy, you can become the person whom you love and respect, as well as attain the life you want. In our therapy sessions, we will continually emphasize the fact that you are not a product of your circumstances, but rather the result of the decisions you have and will make.
As we work together, we will also identify, explore, and expand your strengths. Doing so will help you to be the healthy, resilient, and strong person you want to be, and to attain the life of which you dream. Although therapy may be difficult and at times painful, it is a necessary passage to grow and is an investment in yourself.
