As a therapist, some of my core beliefs that I bring to every session are:
​
-
That people are not stuck where they are
-
That people can feel to heal
-
That people can be the authors of their own story
-
That people can develop the skills and tools they need to create a brighter future
​
Like with any choice, choosing to go to therapy comes with its own risks. As Brene Brown beautifully quotes, "staying vulnerable is a risk we have to take if we want to experience connection." Leaning into the journey of therapy can empower individuals and couples to gain deeper connection and intimacy.
​And speaking of intimacy, it helps to define what that actually is starting with arguably one of the more intimate statements of "I love you." In therapy, I help my clients define the "I," the "love," and the "you" because it is in defining these terms that we can truly develop and deepen our relationships. In other words, I support my clients in getting to know themselves, their spouses, and the dynamic of their relationship.
