My mantra of therapy is to provide a safe and accepting environment for my clients from where they can explore their strength, goals and identity. In a comfortable setting that is both warm and relaxed, I encourage clients to talk about their “world”. I collaborate with them to explore their past and present along with their goals and strategies to help them break free from their unhelpful patterns. I believe therapy works best when clients feel listened to….really listened too. When this occurs a strong therapeutic alliance is formed between the therapist and the client and many levels of healing are possible. Ambitions may be discovered or recovered, losses and sorrows may be grieved for the first time or for the 1,000th time, and self-awareness and self-esteem can emerge out of it
