In therapy, we learn to recognize what is happening at the moment. We grow the capacity to allow what is happening to be present and experienced. if there is discomfort we learn to hold it with compassion.

The process deepens by investigating situations, emotions (such as loneliness, anger, resentment, frustration confusion, and sorrow) thoughts, and the struggles that ensue when we want things to be different then they are. We learn to have compassion for our suffering. It is not our fault. Suffering is part of human existence. I value the courage and creativity that is inherent to finding one authentic voice. We create a safe environment for your authentic voice to be heard and understood. We notice the habits and conditioning that limit relationships and the capacity to love ourselves.

In experiential therapy, we can not only talk about our difficulties, emotions, and thoughts, but we embody them through creative expression.
