While working with me you can expect a welcoming space safe from judgement and scrutiny. One of the cornerstones of my theoretical orientation is congruence. This means that I am open about my own emotions as they come up in sessions so that you see me as a real person rather than as an authority. Laughter and tears should be expected and are encouraged as we work our way through the complex emotions that come from being a person living in the world. Therapy is a process and sometimes it can be a messy and painful one, but I will work with you to help you learn how to weather the storm and come out the other side as a more complete version of yourself.
