I love being a therapist. Each session is like sorting through a thrift store, or creating a recipe out of whatever ingredients are in the pantry. Your thoughts and feelings may not seem to fit together or make sense, but often we find that they really do. I find that my belief and excitement in doing therapy is contagious, and even by the second session, clients express more hope. I am also happy to believe in you and see the strength in you, even when you can’t find it in yourself. At times, we have to be too strong in life, and if ease can be found in the therapy room, I am happy to create that with you.
