At times, it can seem like life events control the way people feel, creating feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. At other times, a person may struggle with feeling unmotivated or purposeless without any specific cause. I believe psychotherapy empowers people by gaining understanding of specific struggles while actively developing skills to create change. People often seek treatment when they feel they have lost touch with the things that bring meaning and direction to life. A key part of our work will be identifying the things that matter to you and finding ways that therapy can bring you closer to a life that is more connected with your personal values.
