| Practice Description: |
Difficult feelings can be a gateway for personal growth. I see many students, artists, working professionals, and couples struggling with procrastination, depression and anxiety, trauma, problems in relationships, work-related conflicts, or simply put, that feeling that something just isn't right. My approach is to help you gain awareness of and explore those difficult thoughts, feelings, and past experiences which prevent you from being comfortable with who you would like to be, what you want, and the kinds of relationships that you want to have with others.
I specialize in depth work and believe that be reclaiming lost or unknown pieces of ourselves we can grow towards greater wholeness and satisfaction within our lives. Our suffering and uncertainties can actually be in service of realizing our dreams and goals.
Therapy can be goal oriented and together, we will identify potential areas of growth for you as well as ways to measure your progress. My style is both compassionate and kind, direct and engaging. I welcome initial consultations so that we can get a sense of each other and your goals.
