I became a therapist because I believe in the goodness of people. You deserve to be understood and cared for. Therapy has helped me tremendously in my own life, and being a therapist is something I genuinely care about. This work is more than just my job.
For me, therapy is philosophical, anthropological and creative. It’s about exploring big questions about the human condition; Who am I? What does it mean to live a meaningful life? Why do we suffer? Curiosity about our own stories. Therapy is creative, because there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. It’s about collaborating to find new ways of thinking, feeling, understanding, and being in the world.
I believe that much of the distress we experience comes from internalizing harmful and shameful cultural messages about who we should be. Therapy isn’t about absorbing conventional wisdom, it’s about accessing your own inner wisdom. We’ve been taught to outsource authority over our own lives to experts, to self-help influencers, to systems we don’t even agree with. But I believe you already have knowledge about what’s right for you. Therapy is about learning to trust yourself.
