I am a firm believer that our present self is shaped by the traumas and negative experiences we’ve survived.  In therapy, we open wounds that have been bandaged up over time. Opening up these wounds causes us to feel vulnerable, which is why it is important to me that my clients have a safe place to work through these difficult times.
