I am a hype-guy by nature and a therapist by trade. My goal is to support you in meeting your goals, trusting your instincts and getting back to who and what you would have been if no one ever told you who or what to be. I already believe in you, and when we are finished, I know you will believe in you too!
Usually a first session I simply ask “what brought you to therapy?” And typically people either start in the recent and work backwards, or vice versa. I am always interested in the event or situation that leads a person to think to themselves “I think I need additional support” and then seek it out. I will also ask what you want to change. I see therapy as a vessel of change and so you and I will work together to figure out what is not working in your life, what your ideal life would look like, and then help you move toward that.
I am completely non-judgment, open minded and simply curious. I am also funny and silly and do a really good job of balancing between very heavy therapeutic things, and simple jokes and discussions related to things you like.
I just completed my EMDR Advanced training and have about 15 more hours of consultation to go before I am a Certified EMDR Therapist.
I will call you out and empower you to make the best decisions for yourself.
