“Logical solutions cannot always solve psychological problems…”
When life is simpler, it’s easier to be the person we truly want to be… But as our pain and problems begin to overwhelm us, our mind’s “over-protective, over-analytical, problem-solving” nature logically sorry, “instinctually” urges us to avoid and eliminate difficult feelings and thoughts, urging us to do whatever it takes to “feel better.” While this isn’t always bad, it often stops working in the long run. Over time, the way we deal with our emotional challenges starts to pull us away from our personal values and goals.

Hi, I’m Stanly 👋🏼
I believe therapy needs to go beyond talking, venting, and coping… The process of therapy has the potential to guide us in becoming more aware, intentional, and flexible, giving us more choice in how we act in response to our thoughts and feelings. My aim is to help people not let their thoughts and feelings get in their way so much so they can redirect their energy into doing what matters. This requires us to work through (not “around”) things we have been avoiding: letting go of old [but now ineffective] coping/control strategies, thinking patterns, and belief systems. I hope we can actively collaborate on cultivating fuller, meaningful lives so that you can spend less time in therapy and more time living.
