Don’t give up. You are not alone. When we are experiencing emotional pain, healing occurs when an empathic and compassionate therapist helps you to explore and understand what your psyche needs. Pain is inevitable at times in our lives, although suffering does not have to be. Emotional discomfort is the signal from your psyche that change is necessary and crises and challenges can be opportunities for our psyche to heal and grow. If you have experienced a loss, are trying to manage conflicts with a partner, friend or colleague, or you are seeking to improve your relationship with yourself, therapy can be helpful. With 27 years of experience, I have guided countless individuals and couples into a new life of hope, happiness and a deeper sense of well-being. I bring my extensive training and experience as an emotionally focused therapist to assist couples with experiencing one another from a newfound place of greater understanding and compassion for one another. While you cannot change the difficult circumstances of your past, you can develop meaningful ways to navigate your present life situation and approach your future, so that you can find happiness, fulfillment, and hope. I look forward to having the opportunity to facilitate healing and a new perspective to your life.
