About
The purpose of therapy isn’t to eliminate, but to transform.
For me, an integral role of any therapist is to guide a person to begin an inner dialogue – a conversation with the parts of self that are uncomfortable and unpleasant in thought and feeling. These parts include fragments of depression and anxiety, parts left after a traumatic experience(s) or attachment injury(s). Parts of self that we may not like or understand. In therapy we give each part a voice to gain appreciation for it. Only through gaining clarity about who we are, can we arrive onto a path of compassion and calmness for all these parts that essentially make us whole. We are all capable of healing; I believe that. As such, we will embark on a journey of building trust – both within and with each other – to navigate through this path toward healing, together. In a safe, calm space of acceptance, you can begin to explore self; to gain insight. You are the only expert of your life and I am here as your therapist, merely to be your soundboard. I have worked with individuals and families alike from all walks of life, from every age beginning with the birth-5 population all the way to adulthood.
