You are more than a diagnosis, life event, or traumatic experience. By accepting all parts of ourselves, with compassion and understanding, we free up energy to determine where we are headed.
You might be thinking I didn’t put a lot of time into naming my practice and took the easy way out by using my first name. Surprisingly it took a few months. I pored over tons of phrases and names looking for something catchy, poetic, therapeutically significant until one day I realized it had been in front of me the whole time.
Vera, in the Russian origin, means “faith” or “truth”. Isn’t that part of what drives us to seek out therapy? Knowing that something needs to shift, but not being entirely sure what…or how. The pursuit to find what is true and right for you, at this stage in your life, will guide our work together. We’ll explore what feels authentic to you, aligned with your values, what drives you, and what may be holding you back from making and sustaining positive shifts.
When my parents chose my name, it was an intentional effort to find a name that could not be reduced to a nickname. I will honor that same perspective in our work together and will not reduce you to a singular event, diagnosis, or traumatic experience. You are so much more than that, and I believe that with hope, action, and integration, you can find the fullest expression of Yourself.
