About
Being a therapist is a huge responsibility that I do not take lightly. I know that being vulnerable in therapy can be a challenge. The change process can also be difficult. Having said that, I do this work because I have seen change and healing happen throughout my career. Before this process can begin, it is useful to know the underlying contributing factors to the problems ; as those factors should influence therapy. It can be difficult to change something that you do not understand. As a therapist I feel it is important to say what I see. Confronting unwanted behaviors can leave one feeling exposed. These are times, however, can lead clients to change; and ultimately these moments come from a place of compassion and not judgment. Therapy can be a beautiful journey. Finding yourself is not simply reaching a particular destination. Paying attention to the personal development and change that happens along the way to reaching your goals – that is what is important.
