The heart of therapy is creating a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere to deepen understanding of how once-necessary but now outdated beliefs and patterns are obstacles to a sense of fulfillment and happiness. In a respectful and collaborative therapeutic relationship, we work to clarify and expand your life story, explore hidden and unrealized parts of yourself to reduce shame and guilt, and untangle confusing expectations of yourself and others. I deeply believe this work can generate emotional stability, increased forgiveness of yourself and others, and connect you with your true ambition and a more fully authentic sense of self. I draw on contemporary developmental, psychodynamic, and family systems approaches to develop a unique and specifically appropriate response to your concerns. I work with individuals and couples to address immediate needs and, if desired, longer-term transformative possibilities. Healing begins when we embrace the mystery of life's terrible richness; healing deepens as we embrace our history, looking squarely behind the curtain of remembrance; healing transforms when we embrace possibility, playing with our waking dreams and our potential.
