I am committed to working with people who want to get to the root of their emotional distress and life suffering. In-depth psychotherapy helps us to grow our capacity to fully experience all of our feelings. Learning how to put our thoughts and feelings into words helps us get our emotional needs met. Exploring painful experiences is often a very difficult and lonely process. That is why talking with a well-trained psychotherapist can be helpful to facilitate our understanding of why we feel the way we do. Out of this fundamental understanding of ourselves arises authentic forgiveness and compassion.

When we can speak openly and honestly in an atmosphere of radical acceptance, we can discover the inner strength and flexibility needed for deep and lasting change. Please do not hesitate to call me to schedule a free consult to learn more.
