How do you believe change happens?

At the core of my work, I believe it is important for you to feel heard and understood. I strongly believe in following your pace in session with attunement, empathy, and curiosity as the foundation for our therapeutic relationship. I support the use of humor within the therapeutic space, and have found it to be healing. My focus is not only to understand and give perspective to your thoughts and perceptions, but to develop a deeper understanding of your authentic emotional experiences. I enjoy helping people find the language to express their needs, wants, feelings, and fantasies; to help learn about who you are as a person and how life has shaped you. These moments set a template for how you may respond and will guide us on the path toward healthier connections.

The Mighty Oak

by Johnny Ray Ryder, Jr

A mighty wind blew night and day,

It stole the oak tree’s leaves away;

Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark

Until the oak was tired and stark

But still the oak tree held its ground

While other trees fell all around;

The weary wind gave up and spoke.

“How can you still be standing Oak?”

The oak tree said “ I know that you

Can break each limb of mine in two,

Carry every leaf away,

Shake my limbs, and make me sway.

But I have roots stretched in the earth,

Growing stronger since my birth;

You’ll never touch them, for you see,

They are the deepest part of me.

Until today, I wasn’t sure

Of how much I could endure,

But now I’ve found, with thanks to you,

I”m stronger than I ever knew.
