LP, 15 years of experience
Many people come to therapy experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or some other phase of life issue. People who find working with me helpful tend to want to go beyond treating symptoms to understanding what is keeping them stuck and working towards being freed from internal conflicts that are blocking them from enjoying their lives. They are seeking self-discovery, healing, understanding, and growth.
I offer a space to help those I work with develop their strengths and gain insight into patterns that are hindering them from achieving their potential. Wherever you are in your journey, if you are ready to take a look inward and dedicate time to your development, I welcome your contact.
My focus in the therapeutic work is to deeply understand what is going on for you both consciously and unconsciously. I believe the more we can understand the patterns and ways we are engaging with ourselves and others, the more choice we have in doing things differently. Practically, what that looks like is you speaking as freely as you can and me listening as best I can for not just the “what” but the “why” and “how.”
My specialty is working with adults wanting to understand themselves better and address patterns impacting the ability to engage in a fulfilling life.
