A variety of psychological challenges, emotional ailments, and problems in living bring people to therapy, including:

• navigation of life transitions,
• relationship issues,
• anxiety &/or depression, 
• identity development, life direction and purpose,
• choice and decision-making,
• meaning and spiritual life,
• self-confidence/assertion and self-advocacy,
• stress management,
• addictions/self-defeating behavior/compulsions,
• loss and grief,
• and what Rollo May calls “the struggle to be”.  

Therapy is a powerful method of cultivating mindful awareness and providing a protected, nurturing space to work through our personal issues. The experience of therapy fosters thriving rather than merely surviving, and helps open a greater capacity to choose our life rather than be dictated by our circumstances.   

Rather than only manage symptoms or modify behaviors, let this counseling approach unfold a deep and honest understanding of your experiences, the truer nature of who you are, what you're up to, and who you could become.
