Spiraling? To work through pain, chemistry between the therapist and the client matters. What you can expect from me as your therapist: I will be my authentic self in the room & likely drop the F-bomb. I weave pragmatism, warmth and humor into our conversations. I will treat you like an equal person sitting across from me. I work best with clients who want to be their whole selves, too. While it feels like going in circles, you're actually climbing a mountain. Same view- new perspective.
While I do specialize in crisis & trauma, there is no “wrong” client. Let's work through whatever it is your'e dealing with to have healthier relationships with others and yourself. While yes, therapy is tough work, I will walk alongside you- without judgement. We're all on a journey. I help people find the right therapist- even if that person is not me.
Therapy is an excellent route to healing but one of many. Some pain needs to be expressed in avenues other than words- like exercise, art, or life goals. I incorporate physical movement, reading, mindfulness, & tasks in between session. Therapy is active. I never stop working on myself. I won't dish out anything I won't take Online therapy available TX & IL.
