“Changing the memories that form the way we see ourselves also changes the way we view others. Therefore, our relationships, job performance, what we are willing to do or are able to resist, all move in a positive direction.”
Francine Shapiro
MY APPROACH
Life can be unpredictable and the challenges that come with it can leave lasting impacts that leave us feeling disconnected. Many of these challenges come without choice, these individual experiences can be arduous and demanding. I approach therapy with this in mind, undertaking an honest understanding of how your feelings and behaviors have changed in response to your lived experiences. I want to foster a safe space for you to process your journey, acknowledge your experiences, and best support your individual needs.
