I believe that pain arises through the endurance of invalidation, violation, or incongruence of one’s self, and that these experiences are what bring us to therapy. Therapy is a powerful opportunity to explore and discover one’s resilience through a relationship that encourages growth in a nonjudgmental, supportive environment. As a therapist, I am committed to creating a space for healing in which we can explore your life stories of both pain and joy, where you feel heard and validated, and where you can make the changes you seek.
