One thing I've learned over the years is that I do my best work when I can be myself. Private practice gave me the opportunity to create a space that feels genuine rather than overly polished. Sessions are real conversations. Sometimes there is laughter. Sometimes there is swearing. Sometimes a dog makes an unexpected appearance, on my screen or yours. I don't believe effective therapy requires pretending to be someone we're not. In fact, I think people often do their best work when they feel comfortable enough to show up as themselves. Creating a practice that allows me to do the same has made me a better therapist for the people I serve.
I don't expect clients to leave their humanity at the door, so I don't leave mine there either.
