The essential element in therapy is finding an experienced, caring therapist who makes you feel comfortable and seems like the "right fit." Research reveals that regardless of the type of psychotherapy practiced, the relationship between the client and therapist is a key factor in a successful therapy experience. As expected, patience, consistency, trust, and honesty are all important facets of the therapeutic relationship.
When going through rough times, most of us need an encouraging person to walk with us through pain, bewilderment, trauma, and loss. In today's world, it is easy to feel lost, ignored and unheard. Therapy is a safe place where you can talk about personal issues and be heard but not judged. Through sharing your story and reflecting on it, we work together to help you understand areas of your life that were once a mystery.
In time, you may make connections from the past to your present daily life. Many clients shift behaviors and make new choices for their lives. Working toward these benefits takes time and effort, but for most clients, the possibility of an enriched life and rewarding relationships is well worth it.

Trauma strikes powerfully and touches a person's whole being.
Some individuals feel those emotional wounds immediately, while others repress these painful experiences and deal with their emotions years later.
Although healing means different things to different people, as your therapist, I believe it includes not only being symptom-free but also learning to acknowledge, understand, process, and move forward with your traumatic experience.
I will bear witness to your pain and join you as you seek transformation and hope.

Most tell me they have no models of a long-term marriage other than old tv shows.
