Research has shown that one of the most important factors that determines successful outcomes in psychotherapy is the "therapeutic alliance" or having a "good fit."  In plain terms, this means clients are most likely to improve if they feel their therapist has created a safe space, understanding, supportive, and genuinely concerned for their wellbeing. Therapy is a commitment of time, money, and energy, so it is important that you find someone that you feel is a good fit for you. 

Therapy is a commitment of time, money, and energy, so it is important that we are a good “fit” for each other. If I think that you would be served better by a therapist with a different skill set or you would prefer to see someone else, I will be happy to refer you to someone who may be more suitable.

It is common to experience grief after a loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job, or a life transition. Grieving and trying to make sense of the loss can be a painful process. Feelings can range from deep sadness to bursts of anger. Everyone grieves in their own way and time frame. I am here to support you, as you find a new way forward.
