Whether therapy is a familiar routine or something you’ve just decided to try, being vulnerable is almost always hard. The work of healing is often uncomfortable because it requires something new and untested: questioning deep-seated beliefs, trying different behaviors, and accepting difficult emotions. This takes an incredible amount of self-honesty and courage, and I focus on creating a space where you feel supported, curious, and brave.
I believe therapy is most transformative when it addresses both the “why” and the “how.” It’s helpful to understand why challenging parts of us arise repeatedly, and to understand how we can change patterns that no longer serve us. My ultimate goal is to help you connect with your core sense of self-compassion and self-confidence so that you can feel empowered to lead your life in the direction you want to go now.
While we all have problems, we ourselves are not problems. It is through this perspective that I believe growth is possible, and I look forward to working together to help facilitate that growth. Please feel free to reach out via email or phone, and I or our practice manager will respond to you.
