My Role as Your Therapist
You are the expert on your own life. With that, working with a therapist can be an integral part of your journey. My heart work is to join you on your unique path—not as "the expert in the room," but as a thought partner to help you sort through issues and situations which may be painful and causing you to feel stuck. Here's some of what you can expect in your sessions with me:
- I will provide a safe, non-judgmental space where all of your thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored.
- I will help you tend to old wounds and examine patterns that are no longer serving you.
- I will help you identify where you feel stuck in your life and offer tools to help you move forward.
- I will help you name your doubts, fears, and questions and come alongside you as you address them.
- I will celebrate your wins and remind you to pause and celebrate yourself and how far you've come.
- I will gently challenge you, asking the hard questions with kindness, compassion, and patience. We may mull over the answers for a while.
- I will be warm and genuine, perhaps sharing a tidbit from my own journey now and then to help you know you're not alone.
- We might laugh a little to lighten the load.
