안녕하세요,

Greetings and Welcome!
I'm Nathan. My philosophy as a therapist has been encapsulated by the following words of Carl Rogers -- that true growth and self-improvement can only come from a deep understanding and acceptance of oneself.
"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."
This means acknowledging and embracing all aspects of ourselves, including our weaknesses, internal biases, past traumas, and triggers. Only by being honest and genuine with ourselves can we transcend our former selves and become more than we are.
"Therapy is not about pushing change; it’s about exploring the ambivalence that blocks it. When you are in psychotherapy with me, you will never hear me say, 'Go this way,' or 'Make a turn here.'"
Instead, my role is to be your guide and companion on your journey toward self-discovery and healing. I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and I am here to listen, support, and encourage you.
Together, we will navigate through the challenges, the difficult times, and the successes. I will be there every step of the way to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your inner self, uncover the wisdom and resilience that lies within, and ultimately find the answers you are looking for.
