While it's true that we humans are constantly in change, sometimes it's just too much to deal with on our own, We find ourselves struggling with identity or maybe we're mad we're in menopause, we become anxious or depressed or overwhelmed in general. That's where we therapists come in. We train to help others navigate life's difficult terrain. Studies have shown that the most important aspect of therapy is what's called the "therapeutic alliance", the strength of the relationship between a therapist and a client: the mutual trust, honest communication and feeling of safety within the confines of treatment.
I believe my greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to build this alliance. Together, we’ll examine what’s working and what isn’t, with honesty and without judgment. I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals from ages 9 to 79; in community clinics, in-patient hospital facilities and alcohol/substance treatment centers.
These experiences have given me deep insight into the wide variety of issues people face at every stage of life. Thanks for taking the time to read this far and give yourself a pat on the back for taking the first step towards better mental health. I know it’s not always easy, but you’re doing it!
