My way of being a therapist is informal and conversational, empathic and down-to-earth. It is my aim and my hope as a therapist that you feel truly heard and understood, that you know that you are safe to express whatever is on your mind and in your heart, and that you feel comfortable just being yourself. There is no right or wrong thing for you to say and there is no topic too big or too small for us to talk about. The idea of starting therapy can feel scary, and opening up about yourself and feeling your emotions can seem overwhelming, but I will be here to guide and support you, and to help you stay grounded.
During our work together, I’ll hold space for you to tell your story, to reflect, to discover, explore, and to feel your emotions. You may cry but you might laugh at times, too. In the end, you’ll likely feel greater self-compassion and self-understanding, a renewed connection to yourself, and more comfortable just being who you are.
