One of the most elemental parts of being human is the need to be heard and listened to. Sharing our stories and doing the work of self-exploration requires a unique courage, and when we feel understood, we are better able to recognize our needs and see our own resourcefulness more clearly. I view you as the expert on your life and experiences. My top priorities as a therapist are understanding your perspective, learning how this perspective has shaped your life, and partnering with you in support of your goals.

Just as sometimes people get sick and need to visit a doctor, sometimes people need to visit a therapist. This could be due to a clinical diagnosis such as depression or anxiety, the desire to cope with past trauma, or just in response to the many and varied challenges of life. It takes courage and determination to reach out for help, and I hope that I can help. I believe we all have the ability to achieve lasting change and peace on our own, we just sometimes need help finding the way.
