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.

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.

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.

Early life experiences inform how we construct and move through our adult lives. But outdated models of relating or patterns of feeling can block growth and fulfillment. In therapy we work to strengthen the essential capacities you already possess, and support new ways of being and relating that better serve you.

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.
