Let’s talk about what matters to you. Change happens and we ask ourselves “Who am I now”? “What is meaningful to me”? “What causes me pain and sadness”? “What makes me laugh”? “Is loneliness a recurring theme”? “Why am I so angry”? Difficulties connecting with people and lack of assertiveness can cause resentment, anger and loss of meaning. We grow in our relationships with ourselves and each other. Healthy relationships make us feel alive. The ability to positively assert ourselves creates increased self esteem and authentic relationships.

Relationships change over time through conflicts, aging, grief, trauma and events we cannot control. The challenge to remain our authentic, unique self in relationship with meaningful people in our lives can be hard and causes pain.

As an engaged, attentive, and experienced therapist I believe that it works best when both actively participate. A therapeutic relationship aims to help the client identify important pieces of the puzzle that makes them who they are and arrange them in ways that allow the client to form a more functional and positive sense of self.
