Hi there and Welcome,
I think overall most people are doing their best with the tools they have. Sometimes making meaningful change in one's life may mean modifying those tools, acquiring new ones, or a combination of the two. It also helps to have someone really listen, with genuine-empathy and without judgement. My approach to therapy is one that meets you where you are, where we collaborate from a place of curiosity, explore your individual needs, and work together to formulate a plan that best fits you. I draw from a variety of evidence based modalities including both dialectical (DBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) , Narrative, Somatics, and some meditative practices as well.
As a compassionate counsellor, I'd be honored to walk alongside you on your journey towards healing and growth, and create a space of acceptance to just be you.
I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
