Hello and thank you for visiting my website...
Congratulations on taking the first step in helping yourself. Sometimes a person needs to talk to someone besides a family member or friend. Professional help can be of real benefit for a variety of issues such as low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and addictions. People also often seek psychotherapy in times of transition. Some people come to therapy because they feel lost, or that something is missing in life, or they feel stuck or they want to deepen their experience of life. Asking for help shows that you have made a commitment to yourself.
I offer short-term goal oriented as well as long-term depth psychotherapy in a safe and collaborative environment. I work with individuals and couples of all age groups. I am warm, open-minded, and non-judgmental. My role as a therapist is to guide and help you explore within yourself what is really important, learning to ask the right questions and finding your answers. Psychotherapy is a discovery process from which you will emerge feeling more at ease with yourself. I love deeply connecting with people and helping them improve their life. I am dedicated to the growth of your capabilities and your healing process.
Your past and your childhood experiences are important but our work together is in the present, focusing on your experience right now. It is often necessary to revisit old wounds and experience buried feelings. This work is done at your own pace and only with your desire. I have genuine respect for you and your journey.
