If you’re seeking a therapist, perhaps you’re already asking questions like, “why am I feeling the way I am, how did it come to this, and how would I like my life to be different?” In the course of our work together, I’ll help you to hold on to the curiosity and courage it takes to pursue these questions. Together, we’ll come to understand your troubling thoughts and feelings as bearing messages, that, when they can be heard as such, will allow you to speak the truth about your life. I firmly believe that, no matter how difficult your struggle, it is only in the speaking of this truth that solutions can be found. With compassion and without judgement, I’ll help you to listen for what you need, so often obscured by others’ “can’t” or “shouldn’t”. Session by session, we’ll discover how your struggle reflects your history, and how this knowledge can bring new freedom in asking about what you want for yourself. This is standard practice in psychodynamic therapy. If, reading the above, you think you might like to know what it’s like to be heard in this way, I encourage you to schedule a consultation. Those who are feeling helpless, hurt, or lost are often surprised by the wisdom and capability that they carry within themselves, unrecognized. It takes work to find it, but it’s work in which I am eager to lend a hand.
