You are not alone in your struggles. I will support you, guide you and encourage you as we work together to affect change and enhance personal growth. Because we all heal best in context of relationships that are nurturing, our reflections and interactions within a safe supportive environment will help inform and evolve your relationships outside of therapy.
We’ll reflect not only on the source of your challenges, we’ll explore your reactions to them, and discus ways to work through your conflict so you can transform your pain into a source of greater personal strength and success. We’ll look at ineffective coping and behaviors that may have served you in the past, but are now barriers to healing.
I specialize in helping people gain a greater awareness of their choices, attain understanding of their present circumstances, and transform fear and anger into forward movement and action. To help you realize your potential, we’ll look not only to the past but also to the future so that we can arrive at creative solutions that can help you develop alternative ways of dealing with challenging situations.
If you’re ready to take flight from internal constraints, achieve your goals and live more authentically, please contact me to arrange an initial appointment.
