"Maybe you feel stuck in your life, confused about your feelings and thoughts, or you’re not living your life the way you’d want to. Maybe you’ve noticed that there are patterns in your relationships or at work that are interfering with your goals and that seem to repeat themselves. Maybe there are cultural expectations that seem to hold you back or interfere with your hopes and life plans. I can help you explore your feelings, thoughts and behaviors in order to better understand them, for symptom relief, to be more forgiving with yourself, heal and promote personal growth, and move forward. Sometimes it’s painful to look at one’s past and we’d rather avoid it. Sometimes it makes a lot of sense, though, to explore exactly these feelings in order to gain insight into how our past experiences influence the present, and in order to re-evaluate behaviors that might have been adaptive and helpful at one point, but are now interfering with your life and goals. Together we will be able to discover that you have choices and you will become able to more actively engage life, and use your own strengths to be most true to yourself. I’m supporting you in the making of a more fulfilling life."
