I value the therapeautic relationship with you. It is the cornerstone of successful therapy. I want to get to know you as an individual. Together we will work to understand what is interfering with your sense of well-being. Symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and eating disorders are seen as manifestations of deeper issues and problems. Often we are  not fully conscious of the internal conflictrs, losses not grieved, and the unhealed wounds we carry around. Although we may not be aware of how the past affects us, it shapes much of how we experience the present including our relationships and how we see ourselves and others. In our early experiences we adapt to protect ourselves in the best ways we can. Often these 'old ways' do not work anymore. They may actually interfere with our happiness. With deeper understanding and clarity we are more able to feel whole and face life's challenges. 

The benefits of therapy may include:

Improved sense of well-being

Increased clarity about your goals and how to achieve them

Fewer symptoms, improved mood and increased energy

Resolution of past losses and family of origin issues

Experience more satisfying and intimate relationships

Better able to manage stress
