Snapshot:
My approach to therapy is rooted in the idea that profound healing occurs in the context of relationships. Our very lives are dictated by the relationships that we do or don’t have, and a large part of how we discover ourselves is through reflection and feedback - being seen and understood by another. Being your authentic self can be challenging for a number of reasons, like if you have experienced abuse, bullying, trauma, or neglect. This is precisely why it’s important to me that the therapeutic space is a safe one. I strive to make the time that we spend together a place of refuge from pronounced othering, where you can be your true self (or have the space to figure out who your true self is).
