I wonder about you.

What is going on for you as you visit here with me?
Are you in pain? Looking for relief, support, or consolation?

Loss and pain can lead to self-alienation

Have you lost something of great value?
Have you lost someone dear to your heart?
Is your sense of self so hurt or injured that you can no longer be sure your life is worth it?
Are you comfortable inhabiting your own body?

Failures can lead to depression and hopelessness

Maybe you are very sad or lonely?
Have you given up the hope of connecting more deeply with another human being?
Do you remember better times? One good moment? Even if long time ago?

Is there more to life?

Maybe everything seems just fine; yet, your gut feeling tells you there must be more to life than this?
Whatever your pain might be, it can be hard to share.
Especially, as most of us were trained to hide our pain and suffering.

Can you ask for help?

Asking for help IS a major step.
Maybe you tried once and were disappointed.
Maybe you were disappointed many times.

How to begin therapy?

Together, we are more likely to discover a path forward. Being in a safe place, naming what goes on inside, and giving it some form of expression is a good beginning for a healing journey.

Let’s talk about beginning.
When you are ready please contact me.

IT FELT LOVE

How
Did the rose
Ever open its heart

And give to this world
All its
Beauty?

It felt the encouragement of light
Against its
Being,

Otherwise,

We all remain

Too
Frightened.

(“The Gift”– versions of Hafiz by Daniel Ladinsky)
