Approach Description: Many of us desire to feel happier, calmer, and more connected, but simply don’t know how to achieve this reality. This is especially true for people who’ve experienced attachment disruptions, or even more severe forms of trauma. Or, perhaps we see a path forward, but that path vanishes suddenly without warning and is replaced by malaise and renewed uncertainty, or, even worse, despair. Our work will focus on developing that path in a way that endures in the face of adversity. My approach to therapy is integrative, with an emphasis on relationships and unpacking the connection between your past and present. Together, we will identify the feelings and assumptions that generate the self-defeating patterns preventing you from experiencing joy and fulfillment in your life. For those who feel skeptical about therapy, I understand, truly, especially given how ubiquitous the *language* of therapy has become in our culture. But rest assured, therapy can be a force for good, so long as we maintain our focus on the importance of human connection.
