"Enjoying life to me means living creatively, fully experiencing whatever is presented to us, developing meaningful, loving relationships, doing good work, and connecting to community."

What can psychotherapy do for you?

The main impetus for people to enter into therapy is due to pain and suffering, usually from the loss of a loved one, or important work, or health.  Often there is a lack of self-esteem or a drive to be perfect to please others.  Depression and anxiety manifest as a response to these issues along with anger, fear, frustration, and grief.   These dark emotions need to be honored and expressed in safe, healthy ways.  Losses need to be grieved and witnessed in the sanctity of a personal space that honors the journey toward healing, giving both attention and time to the process.

Psychotherapy can also identify and support your strengths and capabilities.  Through insight and understanding, you can increase your self awareness, self love, and self acceptance, which builds your capacity to manage and cope with the challenges that your inner and outer world present to you.  Therapy can improve your mood and outlook and offer you a sense of aliveness and joy.
