Empathy
Therapy is a place to have someone understand and acknowledge your emotions and experiences. I work diligently to put myself in your shoes and allow you to feel seen. Our work together will also involve increasing empathy in your life - toward yourself and also toward others.
Safety
Safety comes from feeling seen and understood - not only your thoughts, but your emotions and deep desires. When we feel safe, we are given the permission to heal and grow. I work hard to ensure that the therapy room is a safe place for you to experience that healing.
Connection
Feeling connected to others enables us to examine our emotions, thoughts, values and desires. It decreases anxiety, helps us manage our emotions, increases self-esteem and empathy and improves our immune system. Connection is the result of the empathy and safety you will feel in the therapy room.
Authenticity
Showing our true selves is an act of bravery - one that is brought about when we have the knowledge that we are seen for who we are, we are safe with others and we can trust that connection will bring healing. We will work together to help you find your most authentic self.
