About Me
I believe that therapy is about creating a space where you can feel fully supported, validated, understood and heard. Therapy is not about me telling you how to fix problems, but instead, about creating the environment where you can more fully explore all your feelings, motivations and patterns. It is through this exploration that you can gain insight into the nature of your challenges as well as identify your inner strengths. Through this process you will better understand how to remove obstacles, begin healing wounds that fester and interrupt problematic relationship patterns.
My therapy style is warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental, interactive and collaborative. While you will be the person doing most of the talking in therapy, this doesn't mean I'm a "blank screen." Sessions are dynamic and I will share observations, give feedback, reflect on things you say and offer support.
