Regardless of which issues manifest, the central feature is that people want change. Entering into therapy is a courageous step. The yield of therapeutic work includes: deeper insights, a more harmonious life experience, more confidence in navigating life decisions, relief from symptoms of emotional distress, a sense of freedom and personal growth.
My work as a therapist involves psychoeducation combined with a nourishing environment to promote growth and change.
I strive to create a safe, supportive, and confidential setting that allows an individual to explore
areas of concern, and I share the knowledge I have gathered in researching how people overcome life’s obstacles to grow towards their best selves. I most often employ mindfulness - based strategies and Cognitive - Behavioral techniques.
Hold Your Own. An idiom that used to imply hard-headedness has come to mean something more beautiful to me in my practice of psychotherapy.
What we come to do here is to truly hold our own; claim our own, with compassionate strength. We learn to say, “this one’s mine….
This is what I believe… Here is what I think is important.” This is my spirit, my passion, my meaning, my relationships, my family, my liabilities, my strengths. This is my story, and I hold it with radical acceptance, true and unconditional.
In many ways, psychotherapy is about searching for one’s authentic self and allowing for a new range of energy, spontaneity, freedom, and connection with others.
I'm looking forward to speaking with you about your personal journey toward greater comfort
and freedom.
