As Virginia Satir pointed out, “growth comes from what fits, not from what should be”. As a trained and experienced helping professional, I have learned therapeutic techniques and approaches helpful to clients in relation to the specific issues that bring them into therapy. However, I believe that individuals, no matter how distressed or overwhelmed at the moment, remain the experts on their own lives. As such, they are the only ones who can discern what techniques or approaches ‘fit’ for them, given their individual personality, life experiences, and specific current situation. Therapy to me, then, is a joint venture between therapist and client; a guided exploration into a perhaps unknown territory of change, personal growth, and transformation. Reconnecting with your unique strengths, wisdom and resources is part of this journey towards increased health and well-being in mind, body, and spirit, and I feel honored and privileged to be your ally in this experience.
