Alice Miller writes, "In order to become whole we must try, in a long process, to discover our own personal truth, a truth that may cause pain before giving us a new sphere of freedom." The odyssey toward a personal sense of wholeness is perhaps a forever condition; and along this journey are inevitable peaks and valleys. Psychotherapy and the relationship established there can be a useful tool in this pilgrimage toward greater insight, compassion for self, and an increased sense of wellness. I believe that each person's path is unique, and I tailor my therapeutic methods to meet the specific needs and goals of my clients. I have a depth of belief in the value of relational psychodynamic therapy and can offer a container in which to explore generational trauma and its myriad impacts, grief, life transitions, relationship discord, and obtain a new lens through which to understand oneself. I believe in the virtue of empowering clients by helping them develop coping skills. I recognize that it is often when pain, suffering and discomfort grow into the darkest of days that I will meet a person, and welcome the opportunity to together explore, uncover, and try on new ways of being in order to greet relief.
