I believe that all people possess the desire for growth and development in their lives. When we encounter relationships or circumstances that overwhelm our ability to cope with them, we can begin to develop maladaptive patterns that make us feel stuck. Therapy can help clients develop insight into their behaviors, challenge patterns that aren’t working, and develop the resilience they need to continue seeking growth and development. My approach to therapy draws on many theoretical approaches, and is grounded in the importance of attachment relationships. I offer an opportunity to have a positive relationship experience through warmth, empathy and honest communication. Together we will deepen our understanding of how you have been shaped by your life, and help you feel empowered to grow. Ultimately I want to create a space where you can be your most authentic self, and heal from the painful experiences that have happened in your past. I will create a non-judgmental space where you can build compassion for yourself and confidence in your ability to live a life driven by your authentic needs and goals.
