The need for therapy comes when we suffer and need relief. We suffer through worrying, sadness, and rejecting ourselves or changes in our lives. The troublesome feelings we experience often tell us where healing is needed and growth must occur. Growth calls us to therapy. Therapy can be a unique experience for each person. Sometimes, we engage in an undefined, yet active process, to embark on untapped facets of ourselves that have dictated our current suffering. Other times, therapy is a more direct and targeted process, tackling the here-and-now of a problem. Each person dictates their own therapy. When you and I meet, I can offer you a safe environment, supporting you to discover your own solutions. We will have a conversation about your past and your future. Then, we'll work together in the present to navigate our time in the way that you need.
