I have a particular interest in Person-Center Therapy as a means to place the relationship between myself and the client at the front and center of therapy.
Although I obtained a significant amount of knowledge as a therapeutic provider and underwent professional training, I, as the therapist, view myself as their creative partner in becoming the “best” version of themselves. Not only do I believe clients are the experts on themselves, but I also believe that clients are the heroes of their own stories. During the course of the journey, the hero often has to integrate parts of themselves and the world that surrounds them to become an agent of better change.

Managing stress can be hard. Whether you're dealing with reoccurring stress from day-to-day responsibilities or feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders and not knowing where to turn. Whether you are still processing unaddressed traumatic experiences or you are merely trying to deal with each day as it comes, stress can feel overwhelming, overpowering and controlling. However, through self-empowerment, mindfulness and behavioral modification skills, you will learn to manage your stress better.

I've always believed that the person who enters therapy is a brave soul. Coming to therapy means taking a leap of faith that the therapist will hear you and respond with empathy and connect in a way that makes the experience comforting in an environment of acceptance with purpose and growth. The impetus that compels someone to come to therapy may be depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or a general lack of fulfillment in life. You may want to be compassionate to your thriving inner critic. All are a genesis to a new beginning that we will work on together.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
