You’re overwhelmed by persistent thoughts of anxiety and worry that seem to follow you every day. It’s a challenge to even grasp why you’re feeling this way. Perhaps past traumas are impacting your present, but finding a way to break free feels elusive. The endless concern about the future, the pressure to be perfect, and the need to please everyone around you have become overwhelming. You yearn to step into life unburdened by anxiety, to quiet the constant worry, and to create a life of peace and fulfillment.

The buddhist philosophy "turn poison into medicine" has always resonated with me. My favorite part of my work is witnessing a client's transformation, seeing them take painful experiences that they have lived through and honor their strength and resilience. I wholeheartedly believe when someone is suffering, they are disconnected from their core selves. There is something that is preventing them from feeling the safety or freedom to be authentic. It is my goal as a therapist to help clients discover what the barrier to that connection is. The disconnect from self can show up as depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts.

You've been in therapy, read the personal development books, and know the coping skills, and yet there are still areas you struggle with, that hump you can't seem to get over, and that nagging dissatisfaction that you intuitively know doesn't have to be there. Perhaps you even feel like your self-reflective and empathetic nature works against you much of the time. I love diving deep with my clients into the identity structures that keep destructive, harmful, or painful patterns in place and supporting them with discovering the innate wisdom that will guide you into a relationship of profound trust with and love for yourself.

Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I had a 25 year career as a creative professional. As such, I can relate to the personal values and passion that lead someone to pursue a creative occupation that is intertwined with individual identity. With that, comes the challenges of living outside of dominant culture without a roadmap forward and the instability that can occur with freelance/consultative work. Creative expression undergoes cycles of ebb and flow. However, prolonged periods of feeling creatively stranded or stifled may be a sign that the psyche is asking for help.
