Life stressors resulting from dysfunctional family of origin, early trauma, midlife changes? Ready to actively engage in your personal growth and emotional development? I offer individual therapy that helps you not just process your past but identify and take actions that can help you heal and resolve issues. You decide your goals for therapy while I offer ideas, suggestions, and guidance. My experience has been that clients already know what they need to do for growth. My job is to help you trust it. I offer psychodynamic based therapy that helps you process past attachment challenges, developmental trauma, and interpersonal dynamics that remain unhealed and impact today. I also offer supportive and cognitively based interventions that help you work through present day stressors. I understand that starting psychotherapy can be overwhelming on top of everything else that you are dealing with. It takes courage to step outside of your comfort zone and dare to have a the life you want. If you are willing to go there I am willing to support you in the process.
