I view therapy as an evolving and collaborative process that begins when we first meet. I draw upon techniques from interpersonal, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and psychodynamic schools of therapy to meet your specific needs. I place a strong emphasis on the client-therapist relationship, which I view as the most essential ingredient to the therapeutic process.
During your first few sessions, we will spend time exploring what areas of life are creating difficulty for you. Often, the experience of being heard provides great emotional relief and leads to a better understanding of yourself.
I realize that most people begin their search for a therapist when in significant emotional pain. I applaud you for taking this first step and for researching potential therapists. I am confident that therapy can provide a sense of hope and can result in significant positive changes in you, your relationships, and your day-to-day experiences.
