As your therapist, my goal is to collaborate with you; to explore your hopes, where you feel stuck or overwhelmed, and how you can move forward. Together, we will develop a clearer understanding of your experiences, the difficulties you face, strengths you can develop and lean on, and how you can more fully live the life that you really want.
To successfully take on life's challenges, we need to feel confident in who we are, that our experiences are understandable, and that we can rely on others in times of need. Our confidence, beliefs about ourselves and the world, ability to handle difficulties, and ways of relating to others are molded in important relationships.
In therapy, we have the opportunity to gain awareness, understanding, and freedom from patterns that are no longer necessary for us and get in the way of authentic living. The therapeutic relationship is designed to facilitate greater understanding and provide support that helps us to move forward. I look forward to hearing from you!
