Difficult thoughts and feelings often pull us away from living in a way that feels meaningful. We usually have very little control over these, and our attempts to control them often make things feel worse. During therapy, my role is to help you develop the skills and insights necessary to open up and create space for these thoughts and emotions, rather than pushing them away. We’ll work together to explore the origins and triggers of these feelings, understanding how they may be tied to your past experiences, beliefs, or current life circumstances.

By creating space for the tough emotions, we aim to reduce their power over your daily life. This process allows you to approach these experiences with a sense of curiosity and acceptance rather than fear or avoidance. It’s not about eliminating these emotions, but rather about understanding them and learning how to respond to them in a healthier way.

In addition, my trauma-informed approach involves acknowledging the ways in which our past trauma can influence thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I work collaboratively with people to navigate the challenges that may arise from trauma, helping them develop effective coping strategies and build resilience. My goal is to empower individuals to heal from their traumatic experiences and move toward a place of greater well-being.

We can also explore how your personal values align with the way you want to live your life. By identifying and clarifying your core values, we can work on aligning your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors with what truly matters to you. This can be a transformative process that guides you toward a more purposeful and fulfilling life.

I invite you to embark on this therapeutic journey with me. It’s an opportunity for self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. Together, we can explore your unique experiences, challenges, and goals. I would be honored to meet you and find out how we can best work together toward the best version of yourself.
