One of the more powerful toxic beliefs that most of us hold - is that happiness lives somewhere in the future when we finally are fixed, perfect, lose all the weight, have the right shape, have that perfect relationship, have money, a prodigious career and on and on…
Everyone needs help at some point in their lives. Difficulties are predictable and can surface at any time. It takes courage to prioritize self-improvement over silent suffering. One of the measures of growth and transformation is when we can spend less time in the darkness and in self-rejection, to finally accept and understand ourselves and the world we live in.
I am dedicated to helping everyone with their issues, big or small, long-term, or short term. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples on a broad spectrum of issues; body image, overeating, binge eating, mood issues, anxiety, depression, life-stage transitions, grief and loss, trauma, relationship issues, communication breakdowns, career development and more. I’m honored to work with a wide range of people, cultures and situations.
I’ve learned to help clients reach their highest goals not by strategies that
punish, but through strategies that nourish. We don’t always know the answers, we don’t know what’s next, and we don’t quite know how things will work out, or indeed what a higher wisdom has in store for us. My task as your therapist is to create an energetic container for you of safety, listening, possibility, unconditional acceptance, and celebration of your journey.
