We all have the innate tendency to heal in the presence of a skillful and trusted other. Emotional pain can be intense and overwhelming. At times, it can feel like our relationships are filled with little else. We might try to push it aside or distract ourselves only to find it still there, just as frightening. But there are paths through the hurt to feeling well and connected. I provide genuine warmth and skill in doing the brave work of connecting to, expressing, and healing those hurt emotions. Along the way my clients always experience more and more of that which is life-affirming, motivating, and true to their deepest selves. Many years of practice and study affirm my belief that all people and relationships can change. It can be vulnerable to reach out. Starting therapy is courageous and choosing a therapist you trust and relate to is important. I'd be happy to talk so you can see if it feels good to work together. Call or email me to see what it feels like to connect.
