Nurturing, nonjudgmental understanding, respect and honesty are at the heart of the therapeutic relationship I hope to develop with you. I believe that these deepest principles are the root of healing and recovery. The therapeutic relationship is where and how this takes place. When we address it in the here and now, then it most often generalizes to the present and future of your life. The foundation of my private practice lies in fostering this experience.Psychotherapy is a microcosm of life. What goes on in the world for you will eventually go on in the therapy relationship. The therapy creates a place to relax defenses and see patterns from childhood and life events that have interfered in having a happy life.I act as a "corrective relational partner" during the psychotherapy. I will help you awaken to the origin of and the interplay of how patterns and themes are causing pain and discomfort in your life and relationships. Therapy is expensive and time consuming but I feel you are worth it.
