MY APPROACH
Change is hard, especially when we feel stuck in old patterns, challenging relationships or unsatisfying careers . It can feel like a really lonely place to be. But you don't have to experience this alone.
Therapy can help you make the changes you've been struggling to make on your own. We will explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors from the past and present, to understand the patterns that may be making you feel stuck on a loop. We will work to gain awareness and insight into barriers that may be standing in your way and preventing you from achieving your goals, while also identifying your strengths and how to use them.
​
I practice therapy Psychodynamically, consisting mainly of a relational, and relaxed approach. It isn't always easy to be vulnerable, and explore negative experiences or parts of ourselves, and I believe a strong therapeutic relationship leads to the most successful outcomes. It is through this safe, and nurturing dynamic that you will begin to gain awareness and insight, as well as, work to integrate these vital tools for long-lasting growth, and a more fulfilling and satisfying life.
Contact me to see if we are a good fit.
