Sometimes she comes off as flighty...that's just her personality, but she's actually really attuned and good at what she does. Yes, I feel like I'm floating on a cloud today, but it's not so much because of our relationship...it's knowing we really are going to work together so that I can finally heal! I'm ready to do the hard work. The rupture and the fact that it is repaired along with the fact that she was very willing to reassure me that she is on my side helps me trust her more. I now know I can speak freely without the worry of being referred.

My T's style is very practical; CBT, DBT, person-centered, and a little pastoral. At least that is what she uses with me. She's eclectic and uses whatever she thinks works best for each client.
