"Be patient with all that is unsolved in your heart, and try to love the questions thermselves."
- R.M. Rilke
As the poet Walt Whitman writes, "we contain multitudes". There is a whole world of joy, despair, wonder, curiosity, agony, and longing with us. Much of my approach to therapy consists of helping people explore, understand, and find meaning from the things we think, feel, and want. Admittedly, it can be terrifying to face ourselves.
However, I firmly believe that the more intimately we know and accept ourselves exactly as we are, the more we cultivate lovingkindness and compassion in our lives, the more connected we feel to the world around us. This sense of connection brings the aliveness that we are all desperate to feel. The process of knowing ourselves is a lifelong affair. My hope is to be a companion along your journey of becoming.
