As humans, it is natural to experience periods of intense difficulty, particularly when we feel overwhelmed by competing demands or caught in relationship patterns that are no longer effective.
Therapy can provide an opportunity to better understand ourselves, our relationships, and the patterns that shape our lives. It can help us develop healthier and more authentic relationships, restore balance, manage anxiety and challenging emotions, and move toward greater wellbeing.
Dr. Dragonette believes that people can learn to recognize and communicate their needs, establish effective and graceful boundaries, and develop greater flexibility in how they respond to themselves and others.
When emotions become overpowering, our tendency is to avoid them. Dr. Dragonette helps clients understand their emotions and experiences as sources of information, rather than simply problems to eliminate, and use that information to move toward the lives they truly want to live.
