Get To Know Me
If there was one thing you wish people knew about the therapy experience who might be hesitant to try it, what would that be?
I'd like people to know that I get it! It's really hard to open up to a random stranger. It's really much easier (in the short term) to avoid our issues and try to act like everything is totally fine than to confront them head on. For me, it's really important that you set the pace for our time together. I operate under a person centered belief, which means that I think all of us are doing the best that we can, and that we are all progressing towards wellness/happiness/actualization/being a healthy and satisfied person. I am here to help you uncover the things within you that will help you with that process. Once we can overcome the shame of seeking help and accept ourselves where we are, we can start to see the change we want. The same is true for kids! No one WANTS to be the kid in class that is constantly getting in trouble, it feels terrible. I can facilitate a relationship through which they can work through their concerns at an appropriate developmental level.
