When I was a teen, I struggled with depression which I expressed through anger and shame. It was a confusing time for me, and at my parents’ suggestion, I went to therapy, which was a defining moment on my path as an individual.
Through therapy, I realized the importance of mental health, speaking openly in a safe, non-judgmental environment, and the power of vulnerability. Let’s just say after that, I was all in!
Therapy can be transformational, and finding the right therapist is key! The best way to understand someone is by knowing what they believe.
So here are some of my beliefs as a psychotherapist:
What happened to you, doesn’t have to define you.
Re-writing the negative story in your head is possible.
You can and will overcome a toxic relationship or devastating loss.
There is nothing wrong with speaking your truth and using boundaries is an act of self-love.
Being vulnerable is a universal experience.
You are so much more capable than you realize.
Dante didn’t get out of Hell alone.
Therapy can work if you allow it to and have an open heart.
Compassion is invincible. Most of us are incredibly sensitive, and there is nothing wrong with that. Men have the same emotional needs, and there should be no shame in talking about it.
If you allow me to be a part of your journey, I will be dedicated to supporting and being with you on this challenging road. So let’s go! I’m ready for you!
