"What CRUTCHES do you use to avoid pain?"

 

 

 

 

My goal is to create a safe space for you to be "seen and heard," even when you may feel as if you've gone years feeling "unseen and unheard." As your Therapist, my job is to challenge your perspective and disrupt negative comfort zones... I have many letters behind my name that would suggest that I am equipped to serve you-- (which is cool)... However, alongside my credentials, are also my OWN life experiences that assist me in assisting YOU... Many would describe my Therapeutic Approach as non-traditional, radical, and more than anything--RELATABLE. I would have to say that I agree with those people...lol.  Nonetheless, I'm so excited you've stopped by and I am elated about our future work together... Let's goooo...
