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.

There seems to be an expectation when asked “How are you doing?” that only a positive response is invited. If we’re all “good”, why are many of us actually feeling bad? Psychotherapy provides a space where what you are truly feeling will be heard.

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.

“If every event which occurred could be given a name, there would be no need for stories.” - John Berger, Once in Europa. Our lives unfold in the telling, and in our listener’s responses.

Creating lasting change can sometimes be difficult without help. We may not even know where to start. Therapy is a way to start, and a way of helping to bring about change.
