“Am I living in a way which is deeply satisfying to me, and which truly expresses me?”- CR - Life comes with its ebbs and flows and it can be challenging feeling as though you are alone with your worries or feeling trapped in painful patterns or emotions. Beginning therapy is often our first step on the path toward healing. And just by considering this step, you are already taking a leap that requires courage and trust in yourself and your potential therapist.
As a therapist my role is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental, curative environment where lasting change can occur. It is a place to dig a little deeper and come out a whole lot stronger. My approach to therapy looks at the whole person; physical, mental, and social. Examining our patterns of behaviors and thoughts can lead to significant growth in wellbeing.
Through listening and accepting, my overall goal of the therapeutic process is to improve your level of functioning and to enhance your life. I utilize a strength-based approach and focus on each client's identified needs. I believe therapy is both an art and a science; it's a privilege to work with individuals who are discovering their own unique strengths.
