You want a life that feels worth waking up for in the mornings; but you're anxious and depressed, weighed down by the past, stuck, and pessimistic about the future. Bridging this gap between what you want out of life and how you're currently experiencing it is what I'm here to help you with.

You can learn to raise yourself...to enhance the positive aspects of life and build resilience in the face of adversity. The therapeutic relationship is tool to gain self knowledge, acceptance and access to your own wisdom. Therapy does not take difficulties in life away. Instead, you change your relationship to them. You learn the difference between the kind of suffering that is natural and unavoidable from the kind of suffering that is self inflicted. With this growing awareness inner strength and respect for yourself grows. Little by little you uproot destructive patterns and come back to life.
