I am a therapist who chose to become a therapist because of how life changing the experience was for me when I encountered my own struggles 20 years ago. In therapy I found I had a place to talk about difficult issues without judgment. I try to offer that to the clients I see.
I believe people navigate the world with internal maps. Often we neglect the maps for self-care, communication, relationships, because we have settled on a map from an earlier time, sometimes that is a dysfunctional road map learned in childhood. I work on bringing these outdated internal maps into focus so that clients can better navigate life and its many complex dimensions. Some clients I work well with might struggle with depression and/or ADHD.
I expect clients to feel heard and understood after several sessions. I expect them to feel supported and like they have a new ally in the chaotic battle that is life.
