Why I Care About You...

What you don’t know about me is that I became a therapist because of my own early experiences of being in a therapy room with a therapist who did not have the skills to connect with me and did not understand how much I needed to share my story.

I remember sitting quietly, being filled with fear, knowing this therapist did not get ME.  Neither did they seem to understand how terrified I was to talk.  

`

I remember this person sitting at their brown desk, placed between us like a wall, writing notes while I sat there on the other side completely unable to speak.  The story it seemed this person was telling himself was that I was just another teenager who was being defiant and refusing to talk.  

My parents were just outside the door. The very parents who were the cause of my being in that seat.  The very parents who refused to tell the story that was evolving in our family.  

I was a “problem”.  

Because of these multiple experiences of not getting my needs met by therapists and needing so desperately for someone to see the truth, I focused on becoming the type of therapist I needed and continued to search for.   

I continue to hear so many stories just like mine from clients who sit in my office on that first day and share with me how hard it has been to find someone to truly help them.  

This work is more than a job to me.  It is a passion to provide services that will give healing to individuals and families.  A passion to help parents learn more effective ways to relate and build connections with their children, even during the hard moments.  A passion to support children, teens, and adults in changing the narrative of their story so they are able to live a happier, more successful life.  

I want to hear what your journey has looked like in seeking the right therapist.
