“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
-Carl Rogers
“I’ve come to this work with the understanding of how problems can keep us in isolation. I whole-heartily believe every person deserves a safe space to be their authentic self; a space in which they know they will be met with warmth, respect, and unconditional positive regard.”
Elizabeth Armstrong, MA, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #111154
