Welcome!

More and more people are making therapy a part of their lives today, for a variety of reasons.  Some are looking for guidance through a particularly difficult time or transition; some are ready to heal deeply-rooted emotional wounds from the past; and some are seeking help with a challenging, yet important relationship in their lives.  Most often it is a combination of these and other themes that leads people into my office. 

Are there themes that keep popping up in your life?  Whether relationship-based, career-oriented or general self-esteem,  themes that resurface throughout one's life are worth investigating with the help of an empathetic professional.  Some patterns are buried so deeply, individuals cannot begin to uncover their origins or meanings on their own.  When such issues persist under one's radar, they find a way back into that person's life repeatedly, leaving one with a helpless feeling of, "Why me?  Why again?".

Through active, empathic listening I help clients make key associations with lost pieces of themselves, defining emotional memories, and unresolved grief; all of which tend to surface over and again when not clearly understood.  Uncovering the right words to describe one's most deeply felt experiences is a critical aspect of emotional healing.  Often it is in the narrative of our grief that we find the freedom to direct our lives.  The process of talk therapy helps one express the meaning behind pain and distress, in order to more genuinely feel joy. 

Helping clients create rich, meaningful, self-directed lives is what makes my work so wonderful!  I work with people of all ages and backgrounds, believing in the fundamental human need to be heard and valued for our experiences. 

I look forward to working together with you!
