I understand the importance of listening empathetically, and not critiquing each thought one may have. The idea of therapy is not just obtaining tools to get us through life, but uncovering connections to those unhealed parts within us that have never been fully processed. Techniques offered in my sessions help build the ground work necessary to get us to a point that processing becomes possible.

Life can certainly be overwhelming at times! I have had my fair share of those seasons, times when I wasn’t sure I’d make it out, times when I thought this is how it’ll always be, times when hopeless seemed accurate. Perhaps you are feeling that way now? Or maybe you’re feeling like everything is stagnate, boring, wondering to yourself “what’s the point?” Today more than ever, mental health matters!
