Whether you are new to therapy or returning, it may feel scary, but something vital and important brought you to this decision. Therapy provides us time and space to receive supportive care and empathic listening.

People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons, but often it's because they're looking for some kind of relief and want to get back to feeling like themselves again. When the challenges you’re facing become too much to bear alone, a safe and accepting therapeutic relationship can provide the support you need to move forward.

Psychotherapy can be a transformational experience of self-discovery. This work can generate new strength rooted in your expanding self-awareness. As a catalyst of change, therapy supports your efforts to identify patterns that are no longer serving you and to reconnect with yourself in a new, compassionate way.

At times we can be strangers to ourselves; our actions and responses seem mysteriously out of place and "not me”. If we can slow down enough to approach these moments with curiosity and without judgement, perhaps we no longer have to remain under the thumb of our feelings. Therapy helps slow things down.

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges; our familiar responses and assumptions don’t seem to be working for us anymore. Some patterns have served us well, while others are holding us back.In psychodynamic psychotherapy, we hold a space for you to get to know yourself better. Change comes slowly, as awareness grows.

“A journey of 100 miles begins with one step.” Welcome to the first step! It takes courage to seek therapy. We do so when stresses, negative thought patterns, and emotions block the life we want.

We come to therapy with the hope that our lives can be better, but we often don’t know what to change or how. It’s hard to give up the familiar for the unknown. In therapy we gain the insight that allows us to transform and move forward. I believe we contain the innate ability to heal.
