Description of Practice
Are you feeling stuck? Do you want to make change, but just don't know how? Change can be scary, especially if it involves facing parts of ourselves that we'd rather not acknowledge. Shame is a powerful thing, and it can paralyze us. Let me start by saying that there is nothing so shameful that we have to run away from it. We can bring it out into the open, with honesty, compassion, and – with any luck – a small dose of humor. The therapy room is a safe place where we confront the worst parts of ourselves, but we do so without judgment, without shaming. I pledge to you that I will be your partner on this journey. I will help you understand why you feel the things you feel, say the things you say, and do the things you do. This process may involve asking and answering hard questions, but it won't involve shame.
