Ripe Minds Mental Health

The therapeutic relationship is the single best predictor of therapy outcome as well as the primary agent of change. I invite you to join me in an authentic, collaborative partnership in which we co-create a space in which you can feel safe to explore, identify, and ultimately change the intrapersonal and interpersonal dynamics that are producing distress and disturbance in your life. In this process, I will serve as an experienced guide and trusted companion on your journey of self-discovery with the ultimate aim of helping you reclaim authorship of your own life and enhance your capacities for joy, love, creativity, and play. I view the problems in living that typically bring people to psychotherapy - anxiety, grief, despair, guilt, self-doubt - not merely as symptoms to be reduced or eliminated, but as an indispensable communication, from yourself to yourself, that something within you is clamoring to be expressed, witnessed, accepted, and integrated. Let's listen attentively.
