What Is Therapy Like?
My style is collaborative and conversational. I want to hear your story as I believe there is healing in one's narrative. Sometimes therapy is the only place where one's story gets told. Who you are, where you come from is important to me.
At times, therapeutic modalities might be utilized but the actual healing occurs within the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist.
You are always in control, and because of that, therapy is interactive and requires your commitment to show up and want to change.
