Therapists » Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate
The only person you will spend every single day of your life with is yourself. Meaning that you ought to come to know, accept and eventually love that person. As a therapist, my approach functions through the lens of learning to understand ourselves and our own unique needs. This often involves the process of undoing how unfairly we’ve learned to treat ourselves, releasing our reliance on maladaptive coping mechanisms and moving on from our previously needed survival strategies. The work we do in therapy enables us to create the life we’ve always desired and deserved. I conceptualize my therapy process with the following metaphor: As the therapist, I am in the front passenger seat of a car with you, and you are behind the wheel. As a passenger, I offer you assistance with reading the map and providing directions, but it’s up to you, the driver, to choose the turns you’ll take, and ultimately, the destination. Thank you for taking the first step in caring for you! The hardest part can be recognizing we want or need additional support and it is something to be proud of. Please message me for additional information or details. :)
