Working With Me

Your choices reflect the meaning you are attempting to bring to your life. Big or small, they are rooted in your hopes, desires, needs, dreams- the stuff of being human. There are times, however, in your life when confusion, fear, anger, pain and sadness show up because of those choices or behaviors especially in relationship to those who you care about. You might even repeatedly act in ways that cause you more unhappiness, distress, or even depression. Yet, you continue to yearn for intimacy and to be “seen and known” from the important people in your life. You, like all people seek meaningful connection with others.

My therapeutic approach, humanistic existential therapy, attempts to make known your deeply personal intentions and needs, often unconscious, that influences your behavior and life choices. I will sit with you in your confusion or suffering as we explore, together, the deeper meaning of your choices with empathy, while affirming your human dignity and value.

I'm humbled and honored if you choose me to join you on your personal journey of deeper self-awareness and self-fulfillment. I will come into your journey not knowing all the answers but having been blessed with a life filled with diverse experiences, learned wisdom, and longevity that will help you to uncover your answers hidden in your heart and soul.
