Witnessing growth and positive change is such a privilege. I really love the special nature of this job and find joy in it. As human beings we’re capable of so much. Being part of a healthy process of personal improvement is a special experience. During my work in the psychology field I have seen so much growth in my clients that I have firm beliefs in the fact that change is possible and the psychotherapy space facilitates that.

Starting a new project that’s so personal can be frightening and create internal conflict. I know that there’s still a stigma associated with seeking support. However, I would emphasize that having respect for who you are and your pace on this journey is a major part of psychotherapy. Therapy creates a space where you can feel safe from all that.

Yes, psychotherapy requires effort, and can be difficult at times but you’re supported throughout the process. The steps that you take help you continue on a path of personal understanding and developing strength.

I see psychotherapy as working on yourself as a whole. It’s not about being sick and getting help but about approaching your needs and taking care of them. You go to the gym to get care of your body or to school to receive an education. You go to psychotherapy to take care of yourself as the important human being that you are.

Psychotherapy is a process designed to help you grow so that you will be able to confront difficulties that life throws at you on your own or using the support available to you, while feeling satisfied and independent.

It’s also a path where we work together in a collaborative effort. Because of this we’re going to be mindful throughout the process, of how your needs evolve and where you’re at each step of the way. This way, both of us will be ready when the moment comes for you to leave therapy, and I’ll be happy to celebrate your progress and self-care.
