When we run away from discomfort or become consumed by the search for certainty, we can find ourselves in a cycle of disappointment. Growth comes from building presence with our pain, rather than letting it rule us.
My work is trauma-informed and affirming, guided by person-centered and psychodynamic theories. In other words, I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space to explore how the past is showing up in the present.
With a background in dance, creativity and somatic practices are also valued parts of my work. I’d love to learn more about you and the support you’re seeking. Please email me or use this link to schedule a 15-minute introductory call: calendly.com/aligoldsmiththerapy/15min
