There are many reasons one might seek out therapy, ranging from help with a specific struggle to a general curiosity of one's mind and interpersonal relationships. And often what brings someone in is not necessarily what keeps one coming back as new, previously "unknown" aspects of one's self emerge throughout the work together. Regardless of what has brought you to this point, welcome.
Therapy is an opportunity to take a closer look at the obstacles which continue to come up in your life and relationships. So often, we find ourselves "stuck" in something: an unclear anxiety; a difficult relationship or a pattern of conflicted relationships; academic or professional uncertainty; the struggle to heal from a traumatic experience; life not feeling alive or fulfilling in the way you'd really like it to feel. Typically what brings people in is an awareness that the same issues intrude on their lives and relationships over and over again, even if there are not yet words to describe exactly what is happening. Our work is about finding the words together.
Through collaborative curiosity, the co-construction of meaning making, the use of what is understood as transference (what you and I experience about the other and how we make sense of what goes on between us), and playful imagining (being able to think freely without the usual constraints of social expectations) all within a mutual respect for boundaries and limits, we can think about the life you really want for yourself and facilitate a deeper, more honest understanding of yourself and the relationships in your life. I believe that talking and action are complementary and that an understanding of the inner space can affect interpersonal and symptomatic change, and vice versa.
When we can see our struggles and patterns clearly, change becomes possible and I am committed to helping people make the changes they want through a dynamic and engaged process of in-depth personal examination and real life change.
