I’m here not judge you for your life choices. I’m sure you’ve received enough judgment already

u replace harsh moral judgments with curiosity, self-compassion, and realistic self-appraisal.

I won’t pressure you into changing. My role is to support you while you decide if, when, and how you want to change. 

I will not pretend to know how you should live your life. I am a therapist, not an all-knowing guru. What I can do is help you enhance your self-knowledge through asking the right questions.

I believe good therapy helps you recover your humanity and dignity. You are more than the symptoms you experience and the diagnoses you carry.

Healing involves learning to face and embrace complexity. You are a complex, unfathomably deep person who is infinitely more than the sum of your parts.

Therapy doesn’t have to be a mysterious, vaguely defined process. I’m committed to making therapy clear and understandable for you. To that end, I try to use as little psychobabble as possible.

I strive to be as straightforward and honest as is wise. I’ve learned that people can often handle more of the truth than we give them credit for.

I am not a guru. In fact, I consider myself a wounded healer. I’ve had my share of breakdowns and breakthroughs, wins and losses, just like you.

I am not all-knowing. At the end of the day you are the expert on you. My job is to non-judgmentally hold up a mirror. You role is to look in it.
