My work with you is informed not only by my professional training but by my own personal experiences working through these very same challenges. I too have felt the despair of not knowing what’s next. I remember all too well struggling with the shame that comes with self-doubt, indecision, and fear of an uncertain future. I remember, head in hands, thinking “How can things ever improve? I don’t see a path forward, I can’t do this by myself.” But for the help of trusted guides in my life, I may not have experienced the healing and clarity which informs my clinical work. All of my experiences as a therapist have led me to the work I do today. If you were to ask me, what my truth was, I would say the following: My truth today is to be the possibility for transformational change through compassion, kindness, humor, and wisdom.
