WHY I BECAME A THERAPIST

Life doesn’t always go how we expect it to. Sometimes life is hard and we face challenges that require extra support. As a therapist, I partner with you in a safe, collaborative and trusting relationship to help you navigate these challenges and build effective coping skills to manage big emotions and triggering situations.

I BECAME A THERAPIST TO SUPPORT OTHERS AND HELP THEM NAVIGATE UNEXPECTED CHALLENGES.

I VIEW THERAPY AS A COLLABORATIVE OPPORTUNITY FOR you TO OVERCOME BARRIERS THAT ARE HOLDINg you BACK. we WORK THROUGH PAST HARDSHIPS THAT MIGHT BE GETTING IN THE WAY, AND CO-CREATE A PLAN TO help you ACHIEVE your GOALS and LIVE your BEST LIFE.

As a therapist, I believe everyone deserves to be seen, heard and fully accepted. Together, we will gently explore current life challenges and past experiences to design a tailor-made plan for you to achieve your goals. I believe therapy is a collaborative and compassionate process that allows you to experience self-awareness, healing and change. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore and embark on a journey of self-discovery.

When I work with clients, I incorporate THREE THINGS to create positive change:

trust | acceptance | collaboration

When I work with clients, I focus on helping them feel empowered to live freely and authentically. I want to see you thrive in your relationship with yourself and with others, experience emotional healing, and discover purpose in your life. I am passionate about creating a strong therapeutic relationship and witnessing the growth from my clients’ hard work. It fills me with gratitude and honor to be a part of each client’s journey.

WHAT IF I DON'T WANT TO OPEN UP IN THERAPY?

Starting the therapeutic process can bring up a lot of thoughts and feelings, and being hesitant to open up is completely understandable. It can require a great deal of trust, courage, and vulnerability in the therapy process and with your therapist. I want you to know there is no rush, we all have our own timeline when it comes to this. I focus on empathy, patience and self-compassion and know that you will be ready to go deeper when the time comes.
