You may notice that something isn’t right. You may feel that you’re getting in your own way or aren’t the person you want to be. Maybe you’ve decided that there is something about you that is no longer working for you or the people you love. As your psychotherapist, my job is to work with you to understand what is happening, why it’s happening, and guide you towards feeling freer and more alive. While working with me, you can expect that I will be focused on one thing above all else: listening to you. This means that my priority is to create a space where all aspects of who you are can be understood and appreciated.
You and I will be exploring your thoughts and feelings, paying particular attention to those ideas that seem linked to strong emotions. Slowly, by becoming more aware of these strong emotions, the way they affect us, and the ideas linked to them, we can become open to our emotions without being overwhelmed by them.
Looking at ourselves deeply and reflectively can be scary; it means being open to discovering things about ourselves that we don’t like. As your psychotherapist, you can count on me to be a helpful guide along this journey, walking alongside you at your pace, pointing out things that might be important, as we explore what makes you, ‘you’, together.

I encourage clients to feel their emotions as they occur in the room with me and to elaborate on these emotions. Sometimes this looks like talking about emotions linked to events outside of the therapy session; other times it looks like talking about emotions linked to interactions between you and I. With children, I encourage the use of toys and games to elaborate on emotional states.
