Great to meet you!
I want you to know that when we meet, you don't have to have everything figured out. You don't have to have the right words, a perfect story, or even know exactly what you need. You simply need to show up as you are. My life experiences, things impossible to check off a resume, underpin the purpose of my journey. I believe that every person has a story, and that sometimes the parts of our story that hurt the most can also become places of tremendous growth. I don't see you as a diagnosis, a problem to solve, or a list of things that need to be fixed. I see you as a whole person with experiences, strengths, struggles, hopes, fears, and the capacity for change. I also believe therapy should be a place where you can be honest without fear of judgment. There may be times when I gently challenge you, ask difficult questions, or encourage you to look at something differently. I do that because I believe in your ability to grow, not because I expect perfection from you. You will never have to pretend with me.
