A critical element or therapy is understanding our pasts and our wounds so that we can be more whole and clear in our present. Approaching our past with acceptance and with a trusted resource (me!) allows us enormous potential to grow and can help to reduce the patterns, behaviors, or mental health symptoms that we currently face. If we can "Dig deep" and explore our difficult emotions and beliefs, then we have more power to break through all of the barriers that have been holding us back.

Our ability to be successful in therapy is limited if the relationship between client and therapist isn't strong. Using person-centered therapy my goal is to constantly build our relationship and make the therapy space as safe as possible for clients. Approaching client's issues, beliefs, and lifestyles without judgment and with empathy is the absolute most important factor in my therapy sessions. I will also strive to be as genuine as I can to help clients feel equally safe to be themselves.

Anger is an emotion that gets a pretty bad reputation, but it is a completely normal and healthy emotion. Anger can actually serve a lot of good! It helps us know when something isn't right for us or that things could be better. However, anger is easy to get lost in and can lead us to say or do things we later regret. I can help you to understand and appreciate your anger, offer you management techniques, and explore underlying issues, so that anger can be your ally not your enemy.
