You are not alone

The journey to healing and self-discovery cannot be traveled alone. Part of what makes life’s troubles so painful is when we self-isolate instead of seeking the support of others. I prioritize creating a reliable relationship built on trust and acceptance so that you feel safe to be vulnerable and can explore all parts of yourself without judgment.

What to expect

I take an active and collaborative approach tailored to your individual needs. There may be days when you need to be heard and I mostly listen. Other times, I may gently challenge and accompany you to places within yourself that are uncomfortable, but necessary for growth. I invite you to be curious as we get to know the issues that concern you and generate awareness of the deeper issues at play. Our relationship is a safe space for you to develop more effective coping strategies, experiment with new ways of being, and build healthier self-esteem.

Healing takes time

When we feel bad, we want to feel better, fast! I understand. We live in a culture where we expect immediate results and gratification. Lasting change and growth can’t be rushed though. I believe that you deserve quality time to be understood and for issues to be worked through. You’re worth more than a quick fix. Ultimately, you decide how long therapy lasts and we will periodically check in to assess how it’s going.
