living life fully

Real, everyday life is – let’s be honest – a bit mundane and often repetitive. It’s full of routine and to-do lists. At times, it feels like life contains an endless supply of days.

Then it hits you. A health scare, the loss of someone you loved, a tragedy that rocks your world, or the devastating feeling that your life has no direction, no meaning, no purpose. You realize that time is a precious - and scarce - commodity. Perhaps that’s how you made it here today. You’ve been watching life pass you by.

In therapy, I’ll help you form a simple, direct, and honest relationship with yourself and your world. You’ll learn how to be guided by your values so you can participate more fully and meaningfully in life.

Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.

 
 
 

Just keep going.

No feeling is final.
