Cultivating meaningful-healthy relationships may be especially difficult when our sense of self is overshadowed by traumatic and emotionally painful experiences. My approach to the therapy process focuses on helping foster your innate strengths and resiliency while exploring your vulnerabilities and concerns. Together we help you build a greater understanding of yourself through healing limiting patterns, fears, and beliefs. In this way, you become rooted in a life grounded in meaning, aliveness, and depth. I believe that building a stronger relationship with yourself can help cultivate healthier relationships with others, making them easier to initiate, maintain, and enjoy.

Your ease, your vitality, your happiness, your well-being - your joy within yourself and within your relationships - are available to you, within you. Life presents challenges, obstacles, and suffering also, through which we take to heart and mind and we grow. Therapy is a journey of self and life understanding. We take this journey of growth and self-and-other understanding together to address the issues you choose, which may be creating current or chronic distress in your life. Hidden in your biggest problems may be your most vibrant gifts.

Your relationship with yourself is the most important relationship you will have. Experiencing intense emotions, fearfulness or being easily triggered can get in the way of having meaningful relationships with yourself and others. Fear, reactivity, anxiety, panic, unhealthy communication patterns, worry and sadness, can be a result of negative experiences or trauma which can create challenges to living the life you want. Therapy can help to improve your quality of life by uncovering underlying issues, strengthening relational skills and learning strategies to cope with triggers.

It takes courage to be willing to get some help. I'd like to honor your courage and be a partner in healing, while you address the issues that make your world less than you imagine it can be.

I work in a variety of ways, and try to match the way I work and skills I bring to the PERSON I am working with. Find your peace today.
