One of the most important tools in therapy is the connection you have with your therapist.
And one of my greatest strengths as a therapist is building that connection so that you can work on the hard stuff.
That stuff can be any number of things, but I try not to label it. Because I don’t just work with things…
I work with you.
Together, we explore whatever it is you need to explore, allowing for the pain, joy and connection that are all a part of the work. I help you find kindness for yourself so that you can find the strength you need to create the life you want.
Therapy is a place for serious exploration of both darkness and light in your life, and with me, I hope you find the space to laugh and cry, and come out the other end better for it. You’ll start to be able to see yourself without all the judgments and filters that distort your vision of yourself, and see yourself for who you really are.
