Hey, welcome. I know the process of trying to find the right therapist can feel overwhelming. When I’ve looked for therapists for myself or as referrals for others, what I generally want to know is who the therapist is, what kind of person they are. Will they get me? Will they judge me? Are they going to actually call me on my stuff, but, in a nice way? These questions make sense. Therapy is vulnerable, it can be raw and real in ways we generally aren’t, even in very close relationships. Change is often hard and sometimes really scary but if you’re ready, I will meet you there.
One of the things I most love about therapy is the healing that can happen when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable and open, to speak truly and freely. I believe there is incredible power in telling our story. It allows us to understand it, integrate it, and decide how much power to give it.
This quote by Audre Lorde sums it up, “only one thing is more frightening than speaking your truth. And that is not speaking.” If you think we might be a good fit, give me a call. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation so we can meet and talk about what’s bringing you to therapy and any questions or concerns you may have.
