What assumptions are holding you back from the life you have imagined for yourself? What possible regrets might you avoid by connecting more authentically with your true wants and needs? Our individual struggle may be recent and feel minor, or life-long, serious, and seemingly unsolvable. These struggles often show most profoundly in relationships with those closest to us, in career difficulties, or in a broader desire to connect with personal meaning. No matter your circumstance, I humbly offer myself to you as a trusted companion on your journey to explore positive change through therapy.
My experiences in providing counseling leads me to firmly believe that we know the answers to questions that trouble us, and through dialogue and engaging in the therapeutic process, these solutions will emerge and make themselves known. I am a depth psychological therapist, which means that I will often use myth, legend, and archetypes to help do this.
At the time and place we find ourselves in, there are many forces and pressures that we must struggle with. Loneliness, disconnection, and feelings of powerlessness can abound. Through re-imagining possibilities and assumptions in our lives, positive change may be obtained. My passion in therapy is to work with clients in identifying what that change is.
