Professional Statement

We usually come to therapy when we feel stuck and just need someone to help us figure out how to get to the other side. I often think of the ups and downs in our lives as being like the ocean. It constantly changes, ebbs and flows. Often, during the ebbing times in our lives, we need help to figure out how to make our lives flow again or how to “hold on” until it naturally does.

We usually have what we need to manage through our struggles but then, something triggers a past trauma or painful experience, and we need to find a way to navigate our way back onto solid footing. Providing support by empathizing, listening, and building a connection is what I believe is the best foundation for growth in a therapeutic relationship.

In the “old” days, extended family or members of a small community provided what therapists now offer. Coming to therapy should feel like you are reaching out, as people have throughout history, to someone you think you can trust and who cares about helping you find a way to heal and grow.
