Philosophy
I believe in listening, curiosity, and unconditional positive regard. This means I aim to understand you and help you become a detective, investigating your own thoughts, feelings, desires, and actions. While it might feel vulnerable at first to allow someone access to your authentic self and internal dialogue, I aim to make sure you feel safe enough to be unapologetically open. Doing so allows you to make the most out of our sessions and make a very real impact on your own life.
My promise is to always be honest, collaborative, and never judge you for what you think, feel, do, or have been through. People are complex and are composed of numerous parts to form a whole; the parts that are no longer helpful can be challenged or reworked and the only way to address them is to bring them to the surface and accept them for what they are. Only then, can we make changes for the better. Are you unsure if you are ready to open up? No problem whatsoever. I understand that not everyone is ready to reveal certain parts of themselves. I will be patient and follow your lead for when you feel you’re ready and comfortable enough to share.
