My Journey To Becoming A Therapist

As a child of a therapist, I had the good fortune to learn the value of therapy and the gifts of being a therapist. This experience coupled with my caring nature influenced my career path. I began working with children and their parents as a school therapist. This experience provided me with invaluable knowledge on how our early childhood relationships and experiences affect us in adulthood. As my career developed, I moved into working with adults.

My therapeutic work comes from my deep value of empathy and compassion

Being a therapist is a gift. It is very meaningful for me to witness my clients lessen their self-criticism and develop an inner voice that is more self-accepting and kind. When my clients learn self-kindness, they can provide themselves with more emotional support, accept their mistakes, learn from them, and take more risks. They can learn to be their own friend. 

My clients say I am a compassionate listener who can be fully present and accept their pain and difficulties.

I have a natural ability to:

  • Help people identify what they are feeling
  • Inspire hope for feeling better
  • Accept people for who they are and in their current life circumstances
  • Help clients heal their past wounds and address areas of current difficulties

Our Sessions Are Focused On You

Our sessions will provide you with the comfort and safety to be yourself. I provide a space where you can be seen, heard, understood, and respected. This allows you to explore your thoughts and feelings. You will identify your needs and goals for therapy, and we will work together to address them.

As A Therapist, I Embrace These Philosophies

  • I believe that you are worthy of love and care
  • I believe that there is no shame in asking for help
  • I believe that emotions heal when they are witnessed and validated
  • I believe that loving and accepting ourselves for who we are, scars and all, is one of the most courageous things we can do

3 STEP PROCESS TO GET STARTED

01

When you reach out, you will talk to our Clinical Manager, Emily. Share what is going on for you, ask any questions you may have and if it is determined that we are a good fit, you will get scheduled for your first session.

02

Emily will gather information and send you an email to register for our client portal to complete intake documentation prior to our initial 50-minute session.

03

All online sessions are held via video, in which you will be sent a link prior to the appointment day/time. You will begin your healing journey with your therapist by establishing a connection first, sharing your story and discovering what your goals are. Therapy is an active process and unique to each individual.
