Therapy is a collaborative partnership that restores your connection to the creative intelligence at the core of who you are.
In order to heal and thrive, the full vitality of your inner experience - which is like a wild river that has been dammed, diverted, or forced underground - needs to be met, held, restored, and encouraged to follow its natural course.
Whether you struggle with a traumatic loss, relationship conflict, compulsive behavior, overwhelming emotion, or negative beliefs, your distress is rooted in unresolved pain and the unintended consequences of your most ingenious and resilient strategies to adapt and survive.
Whether your pain is old or new, it has remained stuck because you have not had sufficient access to the inner or outer resources needed to transform it. None of this is your fault.
Therapy helps you to connect with your inner strengths and capacities so that you may:
Experience greater aliveness, connection, creativity, and joy in your life.
Connect with inner strength and wisdom you didn’t know you had.
Heal relationships and improve intimacy - resolve interpersonal conflict; increase compassion, empathy, mutual appreciation, and support; give and receive more love and intimacy; stop habitual blame and criticism of yourself or others when things aren't going your way.
Stop criticizing, doubting, abandoning and diminishing yourself. Start loving, accepting, and expressing your own unique way of being you, just as you are.
Become more “emotionally intelligent.” Learn to attend compassionately and respond creatively to painful emotions like anger, sadness, worry, shame, loneliness, etc.
Transform the "legacy" of trauma and attachment wounds.
Wholeheartedly face loss, transition, or crisis. Grieve and accept change. Creatively engage new beginnings.
Communicate authentically - speak your truth and listen compassionately.
Make a difficult decision. Or, develop the courage to do what you know is right, even when it’s really hard.
Move through creative blocks.
Creatively engage the overwhelming feelings that arise in response to our perilous world situation. Allow these feelings to touch and change you, and to even steer your life in a more meaningful direction.
Explore your personal relationship with experiences of awe and wonder; cultivate your unique, one-of-a-kind connection with the sacred dimension of existence.

Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage.
Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.
~ Rilke
