Welcome You Have Come to The Right Place.
Are you living as the person you truly aspire to be? Do you speak your truth or avoid rejection by people-pleasing, role-playing or self-isolation? Do you find your career stimulating, creative, and meaningful? Do your friendships give you with the attention, empathy, support, encouragement, and affection you desire? Are you and your spouse or partner emotionally close, sexually intimate, and glad you are together – or do you endure arguing, rejection, loneliness or abuse? Do you know who you really are, why you’re here, and what you most want to experience or accomplish during the rest of your life? Choose me as your therapist and I will empower you to find real and permanent solutions to these issues so you can lead a less problematic, happier, and healthier life. A central aim of my therapeutic approach is for you to have many pleasing memories rather than bitter regrets in your old age.
Unblock the Obstacles to Achievement, Self-Esteem, and Happiness
We humans are born with the potential to be extraordinary and to live fully with purpose, meaning, passion, creativity, achievement, friendship, love, play, and joy.
Yet so many of us get disconnected from our potential for years, even decades, by the traumas we experience and how we interpret them. We stop believing there is good in us or others. We engage in negative self-talk that makes us feel small, incapable, unworthy, even unlovable. We see only our shortcomings and become blind to our strengths.
The miracle of psychotherapy is that it can reconnect you with all that is good in and around you while restoring your faith in yourself and humanity. The existence that felt so empty and dark becomes full and bright once again.
Journey into Hidden Childhood Programming that has Made Life Satisfaction Seem Impossible and Wake Up to Your Power
When we are children our parents program our highly impressionable brains in two ways. First, by how well or poorly they bond with us, mirror our worth, and treat us relative to our siblings. Second, by how they filter and apply the beliefs and values of ancestors, society, and culture. Children of parents who make them feel safe, secure, loved, and valued are likely to enter adulthood with good self-esteem and a belief in their own competence. Children who are abused, invalidated or neglected or who live in chaotic homes marked by shouting and violence, are likely to suffer from fear, anxiety, depression, and the negative consequences of coping mechanisms like smoking, drinking, drugging, non-lethal self-harm, etc. It’s not that the parents of maltreated children didn’t love them. Usually these parents were burdened by medical condition, personal trauma or a mental illness such as bipolar, persistent depression, a personality disorder, anger issues, alcoholism or addiction.
Although the past is far from meaningless it does not determine our futures. The brain is the only organ that can change itself by will power, courage, visioning, taking risks, and developing new habits. The therapeutic relationship is so very valuable because it is designed to provide clients with the trust, safety, and freedom of thought and emotion required for change. As your therapist I will give you these things and I will also give you the affirmation, validation, and encouragement that will support you in changing.
