This is where we begin: with your desire to be in your life, and in the world, with less fear, and with as much authenticity and happiness as possible; to simply be more of who you are.

Good psychotherapy can be powerful work. It expands our personalities and ability to think, feel, and connect in new, more deeply satisfying ways. It orders our chaos and clarifies who we are. Entering therapy is a courageous move toward change, and toward creating and enjoying a life of our own conscious design.

Making the decision to start therapy takes courage. Maybe this is a step you’ve been wanting to take for a long time, or maybe something disruptive has happened recently. Whatever brings you here now, we will work to make sense of it together.

Many clients entering therapy wonder, “How can only talking help me?” The increased sense of well-being we gain in therapy is more than just a worded experience.

Therapy can help you feel better, think clearer, and live life to the fullest. It can even help you open up to love and be more creative. If you and your partner or family are struggling, I can create a safe space for you to talk things through. I’ll help you communicate openly, work through problems, and build stronger relationships

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.

Consider what brought you here. Are you worried about the future? Relationships suffer when we feel dissatisfied, lonely, or lost. Do you feel misunderstood? That can leave us anxious or angry.We can bring awareness to the beliefs guiding our lives and create greater connection to ourselves and others through the honest conversation therapy offers.

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.

As you consider the idea of therapy and begin your search for a therapist, I’m guessing you may feel pretty vulnerable. I get it, I’ve been there. Trusting another with your personal story and letting go of some of the protections you have put in place over the years takes time. As your unique story unfolds, we will get there - together.

Everyone’s need for change is unique. You may be in search of healing and personal growth or compelled by feelings you cannot fully understand. Psychotherapy provides a non-judgemental space for you to safely and effectively reflect, risk, and restore. In your therapy, we work together to co-create change in the areas you find troubling.

Finding support through therapy can be life-changing. I offer a safe, respectful, and confidential space where we can work together to explore where and why you are stuck, and increase awareness of yourself.

At times we can be strangers to ourselves; our actions and responses seem mysteriously out of place and "not me”. If we can slow down enough to approach these moments with curiosity and without judgement, perhaps we no longer have to remain under the thumb of our feelings. Therapy helps slow things down.
