The value of life does not depend upon the place we occupy.
It depends upon the way we occupy that place.

~ Therese of Lisieux

Welcome

We all struggle through
difficult times in our lives.

Sometimes the difficulties we face lead us to consider seeking psychotherapy. These may include relationship problems, loss, a major life transition, a traumatic event, illness, or the ending of a relationship that we care deeply about.

Perhaps your heart is broken because you have just discovered that your spouse or partner is having an affair. 

Or you may feel restless and anxious, withdrawn, disconnected, and vulnerable, unable to find peace within your own Self, yet unable to understand or identify what this is about.

Perhaps you find yourself pushing down old memories or past wounds stemming from unresolved relational trauma in childhood, or are struggling to meet the needs of elderly parents financially, emotionally, or physically. 

Maybe you are experiencing stress and feelings of overwhelm, lacking harmony and peace in your heart related to parenting, step-parenting, or blended family relationships.

Whatever has you considering counseling,
I am here to help you.

Life is a journey.

Sometimes you may find that your life is so satisfying you can barely find words to describe the happiness you feel. Other times, you may find yourself facing situations that are holding you back, or that you feel ill-equipped to deal with.

You know where you see yourself, you just do not know how to get there.

Feeling stuck is an indicator that it is time to grow beyond where you currently are. This is a normal part of life, as you evolve and grow more fully into who you are capable of becoming.

Seeking psychotherapy allows you the freedom to grow emotionally, helping you become increasingly true to who you are in ways that are honest and cohesive for you.

From within yourself, you may begin to spiritually awaken to an aliveness within you that is reaching toward the light of higher consciousness. Clearly, you feel guided by a rich inner force calling you forward to become more fully who you are.

Although guided by the best of science, good psychotherapy is soul work in many ways. As either an individual or a couple, you are guided to follow and become the best of who you are.

If there was trauma or loss in your past you may have found ways to get beyond it, while never fully understanding or resolving the impact that loss had on you and your life.

You may have learned to survive, using logic and determination to get beyond painful issues in order to survive. The human spirit has its own beautiful way of helping us all to go forward, and surely in the short term that worked for you.

But now as you begin to spiritually awaken to all that life and relationships offer, you may recognize there is more that you want to explore for yourself in psychotherapy.

No one ever taught (or perhaps encouraged you) to learn that emotions are key to self-understanding. Self-understanding is necessary to learn who you are and what you want and desire in life.

The very emotions that you learned to stuff down, are now the very keys toward hope and understanding for who you are and who you would yet like to become as you move forward.

Because our culture guides us to use logic and rational thinking, our emotional lives and ways of being are often stunted. A value to “get over it” obscures the rich and necessary role that emotion plays in helping us to understand what we are feeling so that we can use our minds and our hearts to understand what we went through.

Psychotherapy that supports this kind of spiritual awakening helps you to see how you got where you are in important ways that will help you to value who you are.

Whatever events in your life have you considering counseling, I am here to help you find greater self-awareness and self-esteem.

Together, we will help you discover greater understanding about who you are and what is important to you that will lead you to greater peace and security now and in the future.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience;
we are spiritual beings having a human experience.
