WHY I BECAME A THERAPIST

It is an honor to be invited into the hearts and lives of my clients and walk beside them on their journey of self-discovery. I incorporate empathy and compassion with my passion for serving others to provide a warm, safe, and judgment-free space for clients to explore their challenges and remove the obstacles that might be holding them back in life.

I BECAME A THERAPIST TO HELP OTHERS DISCOVER THEIR STRENGTHS AND UNIQUE TALENTS, AND WORK TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CLIENT AND THERAPIST ALLOWS CLIENTS TO TRULY BE SEEN, ACCEPTED AND CARED FOR, EVEN IN LIFE’S DARKEST MOMENTS.

I believe as the client, you are the expert of your own life and I am here to support you in discovering and revealing your most authentic self in order to achieve your goals. Therapy is a place where you can find support and reassurance as you explore what gives your life meaning and what might be holding you back from finding happiness and fulfillment at this time.

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

compassion | support | collaboration

I utilize a person-centered approach and greatly value the therapeutic relationship that clients and I develop in our work. Together, we gently unfold what is brought into the room and set the pace that feels most supportive to you. One of my favorite things about being a therapist is seeing my clients leave a session feeling a little bit lighter, freer, and excited to live their own personal journey.

HOW LONG WILL I BE IN THERAPY?

One of the beautiful aspects of therapy is the autonomy it provides to individuals. Therapy is a personal and unique experience with no pressures or deadlines. How long you choose to engage in the therapy process is entirely up to you and is something you and I can talk through in our first few sessions.
