I believe therapy should feel like a deep and rich conversation. I am not the type of therapist who only sits and listens. The stories we tell ourselves about our experiences, both past and present, shape who we are and how we view and interact with the world around us. Therapy is a rare opportunity to tell our stories to a deeply supportive audience. Through the telling, therapy helps us to explore our thoughts and feelings about, and the meaning we ascribe to, our experiences, bringing increased awareness to how we live our lives. From this newfound place of awareness, we’re able create the change we want and need.
