The decision to seek therapy can be a difficult and courageous one. People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons: some want to address things that are holding them back in life; some want to overcome things like anxiety and depression, or let go of trauma; some want to develop healthier relationships; and some just want an objective yet supportive person to help them reflect and talk through challenging situations. But everyone has one thing in common - they come to therapy because they want to make some kind of change.
I remind myself every day that it is an honor and a privilege to be chosen to help my clients as they work to improve their lives. My whole career has focused on helping people change and grow and achieve their potential. I draw upon my experiences working in mental health, higher education/university setting, leadership development, coaching and private practice to bring a unique perspective in my work with my clients.
My clients would describe me as informal, interactive, and collaborative. The therapeutic relationship is genuine and supportive. My clients feel I "have their backs."
