"Recovery (which includes return and renewal of health) is a re-gaining — regaining of a clear view... We need, in any case, to clean our windows; so that the things seen clearly may be freed from the drab blur of triteness or familiarity."
— J.R.R. Tolkien, On Fairy-Stories
I have been working as a therapist in various roles for since 2015. I began my work in Addiction Services and moved to incorporate Trauma Informed Care and focus in various Mental Health Issues such as Anxiety, Depression, Bi Polar, and others.
I have been very inspired by the work of Viktor Frankl, who highlighted the need for meaning in much of the world today. I combine his Logotherapy technique with a holistic, open approach. I don't have a set type of therapy as every person is unique with a different story to tell.
There is a therapist I admire who said, "Too many psychotherapists try to take you out to dinner and then tell you what to eat." Therapy is supposed to be a journey with your therapist as a companion rather than strictly a guide. Our first few sessions will focus on what you want to get out of coming to therapy and how to eliminate the obstacles that keep you from getting to your goals.
