Introduction

Life is difficult and unpredictable. It is often filled with pain and suffering which can leave us feeling alone and misunderstood. Perhaps, this describes you. In your life, maybe recently or long ago, you’ve experienced loss, trauma, unfulfilling relationships, disappointment in yourself or others, accompanied by feelings of shame, guilt, or inadequacy. And perhaps, you’ve tried to talk to someone about your struggles, but you felt it was too much for that person to hear or for you to share at that time. Then again, maybe you’ve never spoken to anyone about the burden you carry which has inflated your feelings of loneliness. The beautiful thing about people is our ability to create change within our lives. As a therapist, I meet people where they are now as well as where they’ve been. This helps me understand you more fully as a person. Together, we create a life story, your life story, that you can live with now and into the future. Anyone is capable of positive change because life is not a snapshot, frozen in time. As bleak as life may feel, everyone has the capacity to be present now. That means you choose to be the person you are and not the person others expect you to be. If you’ve been living the latter role, you must feel exhausted. Call and we can take the next step together.
