| Practice Description: |
Welcome. I offer a healing space for alleviating your emotional pain, and improving your relationships. I'm a Licensed therapist in private practice full time, and I teach psychology classes at a local college. I provide honest and thoughtful feedback; along with warmth, compassion, and guidance.
People seek therapy for many reasons. Often we are going through difficult life circumstances that cause emotional pain, and we need to feel better. We all want to feel whole, happy, and have a life that is emotionally balanced and fulfilling. Sometimes we keep ending up in the same relationship and life patterns despite our best efforts to change. You may want to feel better about yourself, or are struggling to overcome wounds from the past that keep holding you back. Perhaps you have been suffering for too long with feelings of anxiety and depression that interfere with having the life you want. You likely want more from your life, yourself, and your relationships. I can help you live the life you deserve, and find emotional peace and clarity.
In therapy we examine the unconscious meanings you have made of your life experiences, and how they guide your choices and responses in relationships, work, school, and life decisions. We collaborate together on helping you tolerate your emotions, and understand the unconscious reasons behind your choices. So that you can make more successful and empowered life decisions. I also offer specific skills for communication, anxiety relief, and better access to your emotions, thoughts, and beliefs.
My goal is to provide a safe nurturing space in which you are deeply understood, while being supported towards significant life change. Therapy with me is a long-term commitment to your well being, happiness, and personal growth.
