I am a trauma-informed relational psychotherapist primarily working with adults and older adolescents. My work predominantly revolves around establishing and sustaining a safe and secure place for you to work with your fears and desires. We will work with the specific issues that brought you into therapy as well as look at the relationships with the important people in your life. These relationships likely contribute to your greatest fears and deepest desires.
We will work with how your way of relating impacts yourself and the relationships around you, with the ultimate goal to restore hope, peace and freedom in you and your relationships.
Life is hard! No one is immune to struggle! Everyone has their stuff to deal with! Therapy can be good company in the journey.
