I view psychotherapy as a way to help gain understanding, clarity and a different perspective. When we adjust or shifting our perspectives, explore our inner resources, and identify our challenges, we start the journey to a more fulfilling life. I believe in collaboration and a nonjudgmental partnership. With the goal to ultimately help clients to define their own version of success, create new patterns of behavior and engage fully in their lives.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative journey of self-discovery and healing, where an individual is guided through the depth of their emotions, thoughts, and patterns of behaviors. Through a variety of therapeutic techniques and modalities, psychotherapy untangles the blockage of past traumas, challenging distorted beliefs, and fosters awareness in the face of adversity. It is a transformative process that empowers an individual to rewrite or rethink their narratives, cultivate self-awareness, and forge healthier relationships with themselves and others. In psychotherapy, wounds are acknowledged, vulnerabilities are embraced, and growth flourishes, illuminating a path of wholeness and wellness.

Talk therapy provides an opportunity to learn skills that will keep the emotional "trash can" empty and help develop a healthy self. Healthy emotions stimulate the human fueling system promoting positive growth, strength to create solutions and manage life challenges. Maintaining a healthy emotional/spiritual system is as important to life as sustaining a healthy heart. The emotional, physcial and spiritual persons are team players in the "game of life". Each player has a specific position in the game of life and is dependant on the other players to score health and wellness. Ignoring any one of these players for too long will affect their ability to score life goals: happiness, peace.

We will explore possible sources of your stress, and I will guide and support you to become aware, that you can heal your past and explore ways to effectively cope in the present. 905-842-3626
