As a social worker for twenty years, I have seen both the incredible hardships that people face as well as human resilience and adaptability. I became a therapist because I believe that healing happens best when we feel seen, heard, and accepted. In therapy sessions, I use humor, warmth, and genuine respect to create a safe space for that purpose.
