There is no denying that life can be messy at times and that we all, at one point or another, experience emotional pain which sometimes threaten our sense of self. Logically, we try to quickly address these painful emotions by either 'fighting them' which unfortunately can lead to chaos on one end, or we try to 'avoid them' which may also lead to rigidity on the other. 

 

Therapy, however, allows us to safely come in contact with and explore these emotions, which is where we come in. As a therapist who places paramount importance on the therapeutic relationship, my primary objective is to establish an environment of safety. Within this secure space, we can collaboratively explore the intricacies of painful experiences and challenging emotions. Together, we can work towards re-organizing this emotional content to align with your goals, values, and authentic self. The ultimate aim is to guide you towards a place of freedom and healing.
