My Approach to Therapy
Psychotherapy offers a time and place where the past and present converge to create a self for a desired future. If you are not feeling like yourself or are not meeting your personal standards in life, I encourage you to reach out. My style could be described as empathic, collaborative, investigative, and down-to-earth.
My Practice & Services
I believe that a good match between therapist and client is essential to having the desired outcome. This is why I offer a free initial session to begin the process of getting to know each other. This initial meeting becomes a paid session if we decide to continue.
Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With
-Difficulties with intimacy
-Underachievement (in work and life goals)
-Codependency
-Depression
-Anxiety
My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy
I think psychotherapy is as much about healing as it is about finding individual truth.
What I Usually Need to Know to Help
Therapy works best when you are honest about your thoughts and feelings, even the ones you inhibit but there is no pressure or demand that anything is shared before YOU are comfortable. All you need to do is come as you are.
