If you are seeking therapy, you maybe in a personal crisis, feeling very alone, are overwhelmed or depressed. If you are married or in a relationship, you maybe having difficulty reaching your partner. You probably want some kind of change in your life or in your relationship, but you don’t know what to do or where to turn. The same old ugly patterns may be repeating themselves and you maybe feeling stuck, frustrated and confused.
If any of this rings true for you, you have come to the right place. Seeking help from a therapist is the first step on the path to your recovery, and, on the way towards your healing. Gaining insight into yourself with a trusting therapist, is truly transformative. Therapy not only gives us a much deeper understanding of ourselves, but it also helps us better understand the people in our lives and the world around us. As I recently read: “The more we know ourselves, the less dependent we are on the approval of others.”
Not only can therapy help us overcome old habits and help us unhinge from painful situations, but knowing ourselves will help us to become internally stronger. When we can rely on ourselves to self reflect and make independent decisions, we feel more confident in the world. As our choices become more conscious, we become more authentic to ourselves and are less concerned with pleasing others, which invariably makes us stronger. When we are better able to know what we want in life, we feel better about our lives and more hopeful about our future.
I can help you do that!
I am most informed by my studies in Relational and Contemporary Analysis, the Twelve Step principles and in EFT training (emotionally focused therapy).
