Why Therapy Now?

You have become so tired of yourself and how things are going that you want a way out.

Therapy is about asking important questions of yourself; it is a courageous process of going inward. It can be intimidating – believe me I realize this! It makes sense that you’ve waited this long.

But waiting longer only fuels old patterns which can make you more stuck. If not now, then when?

“I don’t want to deal with it.”

(But it’s not going away).

With change comes discomfort.

The first session is one filled with reflections on hearing yourself say out loud things you might not have discussed with anyone.

Future sessions involve learning to ‘till the soil’ – we need fertile ground in your mind and nervous system for the seeds of awareness to grow.

We will continue to collaborate on small, achievable goals and practices that help you address yourself and your life differently.

We’ll address this discomfort in sessions.

You’ll learn strategies you can employ to understand your emotions and grow toward a more meaningful life.

With my 20 years of experience, I am very respectful to not force people into places they aren’t ready to travel.

I meet you with gentleness for your courage.

Together, we’ll practice showing yourself kindness. Even about the hard things that got you to this place.

I work to have you see and become the best version of yourself.

We do this on your timing.

Many people come to focus on a few specific goals and leave feeling healthier and wiser.

Others want to dive deep, to work through the destructive patterns that have left them feeling unfulfilled.

Why therapy with me?

Many of the people who seek my services have had therapeutic experiences that were anything but therapeutic. They describe feeling a sense of relief during the session; but soon after, the feeling went away leaving no long-term benefits.

My goal is for you to integrate and understand the parts of yourself so that your past does not haunt your present.

I have a proven track record (and 20 years’ experience) promoting growth, healing and change.

How therapy with me works.

Past clients say that my knowledge of neuroscience combined with moment-to-moment awareness of how the nervous system is linked to thoughts have deepened how they live their lives.

You hold inside storylines, beliefs, and assumptions about yourself and your history. You will learn strategies you can employ to understand your emotions and grow toward a more meaningful life.

Therapy is helpful in shifting how you might ‘hold’ a story; our neural circuits are primed to adapt and re-wire. Even as you are reading this sentence about therapy, your brain is working to form new circuits and grow new patterns. We work on this practice together.

Now is the time to act.

You don’t need to have all the answers. We start exactly where you are and proceed from there.

You just need to show up for yourself.
