Message to clients
I love that therapy, in addition to being a place to talk about, reflect on, and reckon with anything a person might ever experience, is relational. There are many things we can do by ourselves, and some that require the witness, encouragement, collaboration, and guidance of someone else. I'm constantly impressed, humbled, and gratified by the kinds of changes my clients are able to make with the help of effective, supportive therapy. I tend to work best with clients who have experienced family-of-origin trauma, are struggling with anxiety and perfectionism, and/or want to create for themselves life paths that fit who they are, even if that means rejecting dominant messaging and making something new.
