I’m glad you’re here.

We all have issues. Being human is hard and messy, but it can and should be deeply meaningful with the right perspective, tools and support.

Research confirms that the best indicator of a positive therapeutic outcome is your level of motivation. A good fit with a skilled therapist that you trust is also essential. What brought you here and how motivated are you to engage in your healing and growth?

Life’s challenges can leave us feeling disconnected, lost or even hopeless. We may feel we are working against ourselves. We want to make lasting changes but aren't sure how to begin. Alternatively, we may achieve a great deal in life yet continue to feel that something is missing. We struggle with self-criticism, difficulty making decisions, abandoning our needs to please others, or feeling shame and regret about the past. We often face self-doubt, anxiety or anger and get stuck using destructive coping mechanisms. Many of us have experienced trauma that stalls our growth or leaves us feeling that our relationships are doomed to fail. Sometimes we struggle with a major life event: a death, the end of a relationship or a career shift. In a world that emphasizes perfection and comparison, embracing and fully accepting ourselves can seem impossible. The ways in which we struggle are varied, but the one certainty is that we will struggle. Shit happens whether we like it or not and we need to learn to respond effectively to create a life worth living… one we can be proud of.

Psychotherapy has the potential to significantly alter how we understand ourselves and others. We can find powerful depth and meaning in our past and learn to respond to life’s challenges and setbacks constructively.
