My Approach to Helping
If you want to process and accept what has shaped you, while being empowered to change that shape as you wish, I'm here to help with that.
If you decide to work with me, you can expect unconditional positive regard, warmth, and a safe space in which we work together toward your goals. I think humor and laughter can be powerful tools for coping and healing and I love to co-create a space where that is welcome. On the other hand, I will also point out when defense mechanisms show up that serve to distract you from what is important. I will always be kind, and I will always be honest. I will respect your autonomy and never tell you what to do or feel. By simply holding space and listening, strangers at bus stops and bars have felt comfortable enough to tearfully share their stories with me. That strange talent serves me well as a therapist!
