    We come to therapy with the hope that our lives can be better, but we often don’t know what to change or how. It’s hard to give up the familiar for the unknown. In therapy we gain the insight that allows us to transform and move forward. I believe we contain the innate ability to heal.

    Psychotherapy is an opportunity to shed old, unhelpful ways of being for more authentic forms of connecting. Recognizing your own patterns, let alone changing them, can be difficult without support. Working with an empathetic therapist who listens attentively and without judgement can lead to lasting transformational change.

    Traumatic experience occurring in early life, as well as ongoing instances of neglect, loss or unmet need, may significantly affect our sense of self. Negative events act as filters that constrain our development and perceptions. But things can get better. Psychotherapy can help to us to understand ourselves more fully, develop more satisfying relationships, and live the lives we long to lead.

    Beginning psychodynamic therapy is beginning a journey of self-knowledge. This journey leads to greater self-esteem, agency, resilience, vitality, and insight. It moves us from feeling disengaged in our lives to finding the extraordinary in the ordinary, allowing us to see the treasure of the present moment.

    Our bodies are our first source of support in this life. When trauma disrupts our connection to our body wisdom, access can be restored through self-awareness, meaningful human contact, and our bodies’ own power of self-regulation. Therapy gives us tools to discover our own unique path to healing.

    We sometimes doubt that others truly understand what we are feeling, so we struggle in silence. This takes a toll on our minds and our bodies and leaves us feeling anxious or depressed. I offer a place to have these thoughts and feelings held, respected, and cared for. A place for you to explore yourself with another.

    The world can be either a meaningful or miserable place, depending on how we perceive ourselves. This perception is usually formed by our mental environment and is responsible for our emotional suffering. Therapy offers a safe place to explore and even remodel our perspective, which brings long-lasting changes to our lives.

    Therapy is a process of supported inquiry. It is powerful work—it can help us shift from merely coping with life’s challenges to feeling more fully alive. My role is to assist you to create a style of living, or ways of connecting in your intimate relationships, marked by less struggle. A greater sense of vitality and authenticity, and better relating, can emerge from the process.

    Despair does not always yield to introspection, reflection, or fretful worry. Our demons, so to speak, must often be spoken into view, preferably in collaboration with an other, someone with an ear for this very specific kindness of listening. Together, we will seek illumination; and with illumination, hope.

Through telling and being heard we may be altered, our symptoms changed. This is the vision of possibility that the psychotherapeutic process offers.

    Sometimes it is more difficult to ask a question than to answer it. In conversation with another, one practiced in the art of attuned listening, it becomes possible to discover not only what is worthy of questioning, but why answers have remained so stubbornly concealed from our own searching.
