"I consider myself very lucky to have this career to have complete strangers trust in my education, my skills, and my focus on the importance of the therapeutic relationship, and share their most intimate moments of life with me. I believe we are all capable of change, even in our darkest moments, and that this change can occur with the willingness of the individual to work alongside me to examine their past experiences, values, emotions, and choices. In this work, I will challenge you but always ensure that you are safe enough to be challenged. The therapeutic process can be a long and difficult one but as people grow to meet their goals, I will be continuously amazed by the strength that is demonstrated by each unique individual with whom I am able to share in this journey."
