In my many years as a psychologist, I have worked with clients across the spectrum of emotional struggles. The one thing that they all have in common is that they are in pain and want to change through understanding what keeps them "stuck" and then identifying and drawing upon their inner strengths. For some, this will mean learning better ways to accomplishing specific goals, while for others, a deeper understanding of the painful experiences that have shaped their emotional development is necessary for positive change. In the end, the emotional pain that brings most people to therapy is about relationships that aren't working.
I have always tried to tailor my style to the needs of the client. I believe that knowledge is power, and that this is particularly important in understanding ourselves as individuals who are doing their best to survive and thrive emotionally. Unfortunately, the limited, but adaptive solutions of childhood often no long work as we grow into adulthood.
I believe that effective therapy can only take place when there is a warm and supportive relationship. It is this relationship that will allow you to face and overcome the challenges in your life. I am therefore particularly focused on offering an optimal balance between support and challenge that will lead to growth and a sense of acceptance in your life.
