Life IS messy and complicated.
Feelings can be messy and complicated.

 
 

As a therapist I work as an ally, by creating a safe, compassionate space that empowers people to explore their inner world and then give them the tools to go out into the world to make the changes they desire.

Therapy is the practice of building skills to deal with life as it is, instead of how we want it to be.

Starting from a place of trust, collaboration, curiosity and courage, we’ll strengthen your ability to understand patterns, experiences, and outside influences. We’ll weed through current ways of dealing with stress, anxiety, overwhelm, uncertainty, and discomfort. We'll build a deeper awareness of your strengths to map out how to intentionally move forward.

What do we do in the face of fear,
or uncertainty?

Do you know the experience of being in the midst of a great storm when what you feel combines awe and fear and an acute awareness of the profound majesty of life? I found myself looking to other languages to get a better understanding of how different cultures view fear.  In Hebrew there are actually several words for fear, and the difference between them was this a-ha moment for me. This new language pushed the boundaries of our English construct of fear to something that lives in each of us as a driving force. How we interpret that fear and what we do with it can change the course of our lives.  What if we shift our thinking to allow ourselves to not just feel, but to sit with, and discern between the subtleties of each feeling to understand and learn from them?
