"What has been wounded in a relationship must be, after all, healed in a relationship."

-Annie Rogers

At the outset of this collaborative work, establishing trust is our first priority.  To initiate this process, we offer our clients a simple invitation; would you be willing to distrust openly?  We have absolutely no expectation for clients to walk through our door completely trusting their therapist. We cannot think of a more effective way of establishing a trusting therapeutic alliance than to acknowledge and normalize this reality, and then offer clients the time and space to speak candidly about their fears and/or doubts about the therapeutic process. Simply put, we firmly believe people don’t care what you know until they know that you care. Through active listening, honest feedback, and appropriate disclosure, we are committed to earning your trust, establishing a rapport of care, and helping you navigate a meaningful therapeutic experience. 

While the goals of therapy are as unique as the individual, most clients come into therapy seeking some form of healing, growth, and change. Once your therapeutic goals are identified, our work will be to examine your story and explore the many ways early formational experiences impact one's style of relating, experience and management of emotional distress, and understanding of physical and emotional needs. Through this dynamic process, we not only help you identify maladaptive recurring patterns, but also teach healthier coping strategies that empower you to thrive.
