Heather Ruddell
Marriage & Family Therapist Intern, MA, MFT
I believe you are capable of becoming socially, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually well when given a safe place to work on your goals. If you are looking to improve a significant relationship or heal a relationship wound, I can help you and your partner to repair the hurt and strengthen your bond. If you are seeking to conquer your own issues from the past or present, together we can explore those areas in order to bring healing and a new sense of understanding and purpose to the present.
I consider it a blessing and privilege to be invited into your life. I am continually amazed and encouraged by the resiliency of the people I encounter. My intention is to encourage you on your journey as well.
"True empathy is always free of any evaluative or diagnostic quality. This comes across to the recipient with some surprise. "If I am not being judged, perhaps I am not so evil or abnormal as I have thought." - Carl R. Rogers
