I really believe that as a therapist it is my role to understand you and show I understand you. For us to develop a strong rapport; it is essential that I be able to put myself in your shoes. I have some really good techniques to help you and get you feeling better but you should feel like I get it and if you don't; you should feel safe and comfortable speaking up so we can work through it together. I always strive to provide a safe place for you to explore your feelings and to create the best environment for healing to take place. I'm looking forward to getting to know you.
