You might be exploring therapy for many reasons. You sense that your life could feel better or bring more fulfillment. You might want to process a disruptive change or recent loss. You may hope to deepen your relationships with others or develop more understanding and acceptance of yourself. You might want to reduce anxiety or depression. You may seek to shed the shadow of past trauma. You might want to build skills and resilience for an upcoming life transition. Whatever your reasons, you are giving yourself the opportunity to grow and become your best self. Therapy is an investment in both your present and future well-being.
My approach in therapy is collaborative and interactive. While therapy is about your growth and therapy goals, I offer my full engagement, professional training, clinical insight, creativity, intuition, warmth, and sense of humor. The focus of psychotherapy is present and future centered, but it also identifies the impact of past relationships and events.
Navigating difficult times is best done with support from an experienced professional. My approach is integrative. I apply concepts from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic and family systems theory in tailoring therapy to your unique history and goals. A guide to therapy is available on my website to help you in choosing the right path for you.
