Personal Statement

Therapy with me feels like going to a wise trusted confidant. I will listen and seek to understand you always. I will always be honest and transparent about concerns or positives. I will try to never leave you feeling like you don’t understand and I LOVE questions! There is no such thing as a bad question in therapy with me. I will always try to support and prepare you for future difficulties and I will help you build a tool box of skills and options that fit your needs and your life. I will sit in your painful emotions with you and support you when they have passed. I firmly believe that creating a safe and non-judgmental environment is crucial for therapy and I will always welcome feedback from my patients. I hope that this gives a good idea of what it may be like to have a session with me! 🙂
