Therapeutic Approach

I believe our relationships, both early in life and into the present, are our most formative experiences. They are most likely the places we have experienced our greatest joys and deepest woundings. As we work together to address the issues that have brought you to therapy, we will explore these relationships and how you have come to the ways in which you express both your dignity and your areas of struggle.

Aspects of our motivations, feelings, thoughts and behaviors that have not been immediately available to our consciousness and reason greatly influence us, sometimes in harmful ways. The therapy relationship offers a safe place to be curious about ourselves in ways we may not have the chance to be in other places in our lives. I have seen such hopeful change and restoration in many people's lives, including my own, through involvement in the therapeutic process.

Our minds, emotions and bodies are intricately connected. At times, there may be a physical component to the issues we are addressing, in which case medical consultation will be advised.
