What it’s like to work with me

Going to therapy and talking to a complete stranger about things that you may not have ever said to anyone else before (or even admitted to yourself) can be scary. That’s why trust and mutual respect is a foundational aspect to achieving positive results in the therapy process. Therapy with me is unbiased, non-judgmental, and focused on creating a space that allows you to feel safe to fully express your deepest thoughts and feelings and receive understanding.

That is not to say that I won’t ever challenge you to think about things from a different perspective or consider ways in which you are responsible for your actions and choices. Therapy is a growth process, which can be uncomfortable. I will ask you questions that may make you question assumptions you never thought you had, but this will lead to you understanding yourself and others more fully.

In order to experience change in your life, changes need to happen outside of the therapy room. That might mean a handout to remember skills we discussed or setting some goals on what to work on until our next session. I don’t guarantee specific outcomes, but you will see changes as you change yourself.
