I help people repair their relationship with themselves and others
Yet you don’t want a therapist who just sits there and say, “…and how does that make you feel?” You want someone professional, supportive and kind, and who will also call you on your B.S. if it gets in your own way. Someone to push you past your comfort zone so that you can accomplish genuine, lasting change.
This may be hard for you to hear: Your life will never change just because you want it to. There’s only so far you can go just by willpower alone. Instead, you hit against the walls of doing the same thing again and again. Left unchecked, our actions can keep us stuck in limbo forever.
The two most valuable strengths that you have to avoid this trap are hope and new skills. It’s not your history, the circumstances of your life or how good or bad the people around you are. It’s the attitude and energy you bring to the table by taking charge of your life and navigating the ups and downs that follow, and the tools you use to implement your new skills.
I come from a multi-generational family of therapists and psychologists and have “breathed the air” of psychology, so to speak. I work with those that are struggling with their relationship with themselves, their partners and others.
