Approach to Treatment

No human being is exempt from pain, loss, shortcomings or sadness. However, we have the power to choose how we proceed within our circumstances. Therapy can alleviate a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, addiction, self-esteem problems, grief, and many others. Specific goals vary according to you and what you want to achieve. Some people come for support during a difficult period in life or reactions to a recent event, others to deal with longstanding problems.

My approach to therapy is exploratory and combines openness, curiosity, support, education and challenge when needed. We collaborate to figure out the roots of the problem and the way through them, together. A relational and insight oriented approach such as this allows you to know yourself deeply so that you may evaluate, and make changes to limiting thoughts, feelings and patterns. While beneficial, the aim isn't the insight itself, rather, the knowledge and experience of being deeply understood. This is what can ultimately lead to progress and change.

In our sessions I encourage you to share what you're thinking and feeling, whatever is on your mind, and whatever comes to mind. I listen, ask questions, reflect, give feedback and start to make meaning with you about what is shared. I center my work around who you are as complete individual rather than a diagnosis. Your needs, my training, experience and what emerges in the moment guide the interventions. As your therapist, it is my endeavor and responsibility to do all that I can to support your health and growth.
