If you are used to the traditional image of a therapist - someone who sits blankly, nods, and ask "how does that make you feel?" while revealing nothing - working with me will feel very different.

​

I bring my real self to our sessions. I don't pretend to be a detached, all-knowing expert. I am a real human being in the room with you, bringing warmth, empathy and genuine engagement.

​

Together, we will look at how you and I relate to each other. 

if you tend to hide your anger, over-explain, or pull away when things get close in your outside life, those patterns will likely show up with me too. When they do, we will explore them gently and without judgment.

​

No relationship is perfect, including ours. If I misunderstood you or miss the mark, we will talk about it openly. Experiencing a safe, respectful repair in therapy builds the muscle memory you need to handle conflicts in everyday life.

​

If you struggle to open up or hyper-indendently handle everything alone, I won't force you to drop those walls immediately. We will honor those strategies for how they protected you in the past, while gently exploring if they serve you today.
