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.

Difficult times in life can actually be a turning point for the better. When things get hard, they can push us to reach out for help. Finding a safe space where you feel listened to and understood can be a powerful way to start making positive changes in your life.

Creative, accomplished people often feel a sense of emptiness, and struggle with relationships. An event or problem may spark questions and conflicts about identity and what your purpose may be; or, you may wonder how to connections and live a more fulfilled life. Speaking honestly and being heard can foster self-enrichment and discovery.

We have great inner resources for healing and for growth. But we need a context in which we feel listened to and heard, and within which a new perspective can develop. My method as a psychotherapist is to listen carefully to your dreams, experiences, fears, hopes, and longings, as we work to understand your particular concerns and experiences.

Maybe you want change, or change is happening where you wish it weren’t. Or you’re striving to reach your potential, and something is in your way. Perhaps you simply don’t want to struggle anymore.

Everyone struggles with something, even if they don’t show it. Struggling alone is no way to live! And there is no shame in needing help, as humans don’t thrive alone. Psychotherapy can help you find your way to a greater sense of self and wellbeing.
