I am a professional, but I am not professional. By this I mean that in our sessions, we can laugh, cuss, and dress down. My communication style is casual and I do not value traditional "properness." Therapy should feel like a safe space, and it is hard to feel safe somewhere you have to put on a metaphorical mask. I don't expect you to do so and I won't expect the same of myself.
​           This is part of my value of radical acceptance. How can I radically accept you as you are if you're hiding parts of yourself? I expect many clients to have some level of difficulty adapting to this, and that's okay (: we can take our time getting comfortable and I want to encourage you to bring it all to me. I'm not easily scared off, and your struggles are not too much for me. I am here to help.
