"Most people are afraid of suffering. But suffering is a kind of mud to help the lotus flower of happiness grow. There can be no lotus flower without the mud. "

Thich Nhat Hanh

 Welcome

Your curiosity about psychotherapy is a courageous step in your healing process. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed, sad, angry, and lonely in your struggle. You have learned to suppress your emotions and needs for so long and it creates more suffering at this time. You feel a void, disconnected from yourself and others, and long for deeper connections. You are afraid that your pain and tears are signs of weakness and you will be shamed and judged for them.

"There is sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness but of power. They are messengers of overwhelming grief and unspeakable love." 
-Unknown-    

The truth is your deepest emotions are your best guide to your healing.
They are the "life force" within you that is the essence of who you truly are. The journey to transcend painful experiences to the newfound you may at times be challenging and frightening. But  it is ultimately rewarding.

The good news is that no one needs to take this journey alone! 

You and I can work together to make sense of your experiences so that you can become your whole healthy self living life to its fullest. Doing this together is not a sign of weakness, in fact it’s healthy and a sign of strength! I have truly admired the courageous souls I have worked with over the past two decades to show up, work through their wounds and come out stronger and happier in the end.
Post-traumatic growth is real!
​

The most beautiful people are those who have known defeat, known suffering,
known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.
​ These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life
that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern.
​Beautiful people do not just happen.
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross


You are working to be one of those "beautiful people." My hope is that I can accompany you on your journey, to experience what it's like to be seen and understood, so that you can experience the world differently and move towards healing and growth. You deserve to live life to its fullest, happier and healthier, with meaningful and substantive connections with yourself and others! I’d love to be your partner on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
