"Life is full of diving boards and other precipices, but, … making the leap is not about ignoring, fixing, fighting, or controlling fear – or anything else you might be expecting. Rather it’s about accepting and noticing all your emotions and thoughts, viewing even the most powerful of them with compassion and curiosity and then choosing courage over comfort in order to do whatever you’ve determined is the most important to you. Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is fear of walking"
-Susan David, Ph.D
My approach to therapy is personalized to connect with my client and provide a safe, empathic environment to help facilitate understanding and growth. It’s important to me to understand my client as a whole and not merely a sum of the parts and keep in mind a bio-, psycho-, social- conceptualization. My ultimate goal is help the client feel less stuck and create movement and momentum towards a healthier frame of mind.
