I view clients as collaborative in their treatment. I will not play a passive role as a clinician, but I acknowledge that clients have expertise in their own right. I know that for many people, it is difficult to start therapy. I hope I can provide a non-judgmental space so that people feel comfortable opening up.

If you've spent a long time handling everything on your own, the idea of opening up in therapy can feel uncomfortable — maybe even a little vulnerable. You might be stuck in your head, second-guessing yourself, or repeating patterns you can't quite break no matter how hard you try. You don't need to have it all figured out before you reach out. You just need a willingness to start, and I'll meet you right there.
