| Practice Description: |
Your life is too precious to waste. When you lack pleasure and fulfillment, life turns anxious and desolate.
In therapy I provide a safe environment and join with you to feel and explore emotions that have been unsafe and need to be expressed in order for you to live with full vitality. I help couples establish a safe relationship in which they are able to know and explore each other in ways that make deep connection, fullness and joy possible between them.
Perhaps relationships with family, friends or at work have become unsatisfying and stressful. Sometimes we have old issues that we need to air so that we can move on in our lives. When these problems are allowed to fester untended, they undermine our zest and dampen our inner life force. Maybe you have experienced a significant trauma or loss, or an unsettling aloneness. The more subtle losses -- of a cherished dream, of the ability to trust -- can result in apathy, withdrawal or irritability. In an atmosphere of safety, a therapist can join with you, respecting your self-integrity, and help you find or resurrect your connection to a full and vibrant life. In therapy powerful inner adaptive forces are activated which help you experience competence, self-respect, pride and gusto. With healing you will experience a larger capacity for love, gratitude and feelings of being moved. As old constricted patterns are loosened, barriers to your creativity are removed and you find meaning and enjoyment in your day to day experiences.
