Have you ever felt like your painful experiences have impacted your thoughts and behaviors? Do you feel like you cannot quit the same cycles you have been stuck in? At Ray Therapy, I stand firm that therapy may not give you the answers, but that it holds its power in its ability to increase understanding.

I believe in a validating environment that does not focus on changing what you’ve gone through but rather understanding what has happened (or is happening), how it aligns with your values, and how this impacts behaviors. I also take a closer look at your thoughts. What do they tell us about your emotional state? Are these thoughts bringing you closer or further away from your values system?

So often we are made to feel like something has to “change” or “stop” and pressures due to shame can cloud judgement. Seldom we are given somewhere safe to understand ourselves, engage in acceptance, become the expert, and gain our power back.

It can be scary joining therapy for the first time. In my sessions, I aim for my clients to feel comfortable and supported by taking tiny steps toward healing and letting you sit in the driver’s seat. I prioritize the strength of the therapeutic relationship and utilize it as our number one tool.
