If there was one thing I wish people knew about the therapy experience who might be hesitant to try it, it would that be that what you are feeling is totally normal! Therapy is a process, not a quick fix. It is an opportunity to connect to what shapes our lives and the lens we see the world and ourselves. One’s family, culture, society, media, among many other factors impact our lens and therefore our relationships with ourselves and others. Therapy is about “peeling back the layers” in order to develop awareness of this lens and eventually to start making changes.

Often time we find ourselves seeking happiness when what we truly are seeking is peace. The road to peace often requires working through the emotional heartbreaks and disappointments.

Everyone has a story that needs to be told, honored and witnessed and I feel completed honored o hold the space for your work and your healing.

In my opinion, people's biggest fear is vulnerability (you know, "putting it out there"). Often, we refrain from expressing ourselves because we are never certain how we will be perceived. (Am I the only one feeling this way?!) Therapy should be a forum in which you can comfortably express ideas and concerns and be assured that you are not offending anyone, being judged, looked at oddly, recorded, or subject to the ramifications that often are the result of "confiding" in someone you know. I welcome the opportunity to help you unload the "stuff" that has been on your mind...
