How would I describe myself as a therapist? Our typical therapist buzzwords are compassionate, a good listener, warm and non-judgmental. Sure, I am all of those things. But I first describe myself as GRATEFUL. I understand how difficult it is to walk into a room with a complete stranger and hope that they will be easy to talk to and willing to hear about the most intimate parts of your life. For that, I am grateful. From the first interaction with a person to the very last, I want people to know that I thank them for sharing the gift of their presence with me. It isn’t something I deserve, but I am thankful when people find me worthy of that trust.
My training as an Emotionally Focused Therapist is valuable because it cements my true feelings about all of us in our humanity: we need connection. We need to be loved. We need to be understood. We want someone to believe that we are special to them. Helping clients get to a willingness to be open to the vulnerability of love is what I thoroughly enjoy.
Helping Others Heal is a counseling practice that was created to bring hope to situations that seem too overwhelming to manage. As the calendar keeps turning, so do the experiences in our lives. And as much as we would all love to have solely positive things happen for us, pain does come. Therapy can be a tool that helps you forge a path towards healing.
Trust that I am ready to share in your experiences, lead you towards adjustments that bring more fulfillment and to listen with open hearts and minds. We all want to spend our time on this journey knowing that life is worthwhile. Let us help you grow. Call me today.
