My Approach to Helping

I offer psychotherapy and counseling services in a tranquil and safe setting allowing the uniqueness of each client to unfold and feel open to sharing personal, private thoughts and feelings that remain confidential, in a setting where personal insights and exploration are invited that is beyond what can be achieved by talking to friends or family.

My services include providing psychotherapy geared toward healing present and past emotional wounds in the presence of a warm and caring therapist. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is paramount to the success of therapy, and creating an environment of comfort and safety is critical to allowing people to open up and share difficult feelings.

Life challenges can sometimes feel out of control or may feel beyond your ability to manage. At Healing Heart Therapy, I understand these concerns and create an environment of safety allowing you to share your experiences, create new and improved patterns of coping, and enhanced relationship skills.

My Role as a Therapist

My role as a therapist is to create an environment where people feel safe and comfortable sharing thoughts and feelings that are deeper and beyond what can be shared with others in a confidential setting. I work with clients in a collaborative manner to find out what are the key issues that are concerning them and work with them to explore their feelings, emotional blocks, goals and dreams for their future. Along with maintaining an authentic presence with my clients, I use techniques to address patterns of behavior that are causing difficulties in relationships. I also help clients uncover discontentments as well as unrealized present and life long goals, thereby helping clients improve the overall quality of their life.

What I Say to People Concerned about the Therapy Process

Therapy is a unique relationship that includes sharing personal, private thoughts and feelings with a caring person that remain confidential, and creates a setting where personal insights and exploration are invited that is beyond what can be achieved by talking to friends or family. I view psychotherapy as an individual process of understanding yourself, your behavior, and your relationships in the presence of a trusting listener. This happens when you are able to talk to a therapist in a safe environment where there is comfort, and understanding. I view the relationship between myself and my client as key to providing therapy that leads to lasting change. Once there is a sense of trust, I work with my client to uncover and reveal discomforts that are causing distress in order to access the deeper treasures in oneself that have yet to be seen. By providing a stable, authentic presence, I allow my clients to feel that I care about them and that I am able to tolerate, embrace, support all their emotions. I am able to role model self care for my clients by embracing self care for myself. This enables me to be present, consistent, calm and caring with my clients.
