I believe that engaging the process of therapy is a courageous act-a personal commitment to living a more fulfilling and happier life. A lot of my work has been with individuals who find themselves at a crossroads in life, struggling to fully engage with their life in a meaningful way. Whether due to the weight of past experiences or self-limiting beliefs, I work collaboratively with individuals to better understand and work with these undermining forces. As a therapist, part of my work is to hold space for my clients so that they can undertake the process of charting a new course, exploring past and present barriers that interfere with their ability to achieve success in work, relationships, and everyday life. I believe that we possess strengths that spring forward from our innate resilience, key allies that are uncovered and activated during therapy. Through a combination of focused talk therapy, personalized goals, and other creative tools, the goal is to outline a strategy for transforming negative emotions, relationship conflicts, fears, and self-defeating habitual patterns as a pathway to freedom and healing.
