I want to recognize the courage it has taken you to begin the search for counseling as you face something unsettling that is occurring in your life or the life of a loved one. Maybe you find yourself navigating a difficult relationship or unexpected tragedy. Maybe you feel mired in a loss of meaning or a deep uncontrollable fear. I would consider it a privilege to journey together with you. I believe that in the relationship that we form together we can access your wisdom and courage, and mobilize your resilience and resources in order for you to move towards a fuller, richer life. Our relationships define us. Through relationships we either thrive or are harmed. In our efforts to protect ourselves we often perpetuate the harm. Our work together provides the environment to become aware of the relational trauma that you have experienced and learn ways to reconnect relationally so that you can flourish. The relationship with your therapist is critical for success. It is no small matter to let a stranger into the intimate details of your life. I would invite you to set up a free consultation to get a sense of whether or not you feel we could work well together.
