In a session, I want to understand your story and the road you’ve travelled to get you to seek therapy. I tend to emphasize an open, honest, and safe space through authentic human connection (and maybe a bit of humour here and there). I want to be able to establish the safety needed to get to work! After all, the quicker we can create a working bond, the quicker we can get to doing the work that you’re here for, the quicker we can get you moving in the direction you want to go.
Much of life is learning to deal with the challenges that face each of us. We don’t necessarily choose our situations or what we have to work with, but we make do with what we have and navigate these complexities of life. Sometimes we establish patterns of behaviour that served us at one point and no longer do so. That’s when we may realize that we need to make changes and we don’t have to do it alone. Everyone needs support from time to time when what we’ve been trying isn’t working and we’re all out of ideas. For me, therapy is a client-centred and collaborative process where we take earnest stock of where you are, dig deep into where you want to go and practice the tools and skills you need to get you there.
Aside from the love I have for connecting with people and supporting them through difficult times, much of my life’s meaning comes from me wanting to help those around me stronger. I want to leave the world a better place than I found it and I want to do it through being an excellent psychologist.
