People seek out psychotherapy for many different reasons. Sometimes a personal crisis leaves us needing extra support. At other times, we need the help of someone who is not personally involved in our circumstances to help us sort out how we feel about things. Many people decide to begin therapy because they want to get to know themselves better, to grow personally or spiritually, or because they want to live a more full and authentic life. All of these reasons are good ones for seeking out the services of a trained professional. By taking an hour a week or more out of our busy lives to slow down and explore our inner thoughts and feelings, we are better able to make decisions that are in-keeping with our true wants and desires.
Because I believe that we are all the logical products of our lives up to this point, including our genes and all of our various environmental influences, my approach is distinctly non-judgmental. I am an active and involved listener as we explore whatever it is that you want or need to talk about. While I’m not hesitant to offer feedback, I'm usually reluctant to give “advice,” preferring instead to help you figure out what you think is the best course of action. For those of you who are curious about my theoretical orientation, my approach is integrative, psychodynamic, and relational, with an emphasis on mindfulness. A PARTICULAR AREA OF INTEREST of mine is integrative approaches to mental health, and I believe strongly in the connection between our physical well-being and how we feel emotionally. I work closely with a variety of wellness professionals, such as a holistic health coach and an acupuncturist, whom I can refer clients to when they're curious about how their physical health is impacting their state of mind. |
