Everything I know about life I've learned from loss, and everything I know about joy and success I've learned through relationships. We all can create happier lives, but sometimes parts of us that are hurt, insecure, or angry take over. This can cause all kinds of conflicts - depression, anxiety, self-criricism, problems with relationships - and choices that hurt ourselves and others. When we really understand and take care of parts of us that are carrying burdens from the past, we always find more freedom, energy, and peace. And we always discover talents and surprises about ourselves and others.

We've all learned ways to cope. Some work, like humor, or having the courage to be our real selves (which is always good and always enough). Other strategies just keep us stuck. The therapy part is understanding the invisible obstacles that hold us back.

Our first meeting is at no charge because the most important thing is to find out if we click. If we do, all we need is curiosity and willingness, with no judgment. We can count on life to bring random hurt and disappointment, but we can stop hurting and disappointing ourselves.
