A belief I hold closely is that you can’t know yourself by yourself. It is a sincere privilege to be “the other person” as clients discover and uncover new, hidden or forgotten facets of themselves. I’ve done that in corporate, nonprofit and entrepreneurial settings, but there is nothing that lights me up more than to partner with others in the context of therapy.
I particularly love working with clients who have never been to therapy and clients who are skeptical about the process. It’s good to ask questions and be honest about your point of view. And it’s essential that you have - or be willing to have - an open mind.
I see my job as helping you hold the many truths that life unveils. That you are, in fact, amazing - AND you didn’t get the job, or the partner, or the opportunity you wanted. That you can, honestly, change anytime - AND you’re struggling to get out of bed. My approach to our work together is relational first and foremost, and it’s also strengths-based.
Whether you are stuck in your career, your relationships, or in your own head, I would love to be there to ride the waves with you.
