Do you feel stuck out on your own private island? Everyone feels lonely occasionally and some people enjoy solitude, but loneliness is the feeling of one’s social needs not being met. To understand what those social needs are we can dive into your personal needs. Are your emotional struggles limiting your life choices or stopping you from expressing yourself authentically? It is different for everyone, but noticing personal challenges and how you deal with them is part of therapy. We can work together to identify your core challenges and and untangle your emotional struggles that keep you from living the life you want.
My method of therapy is interpersonal and relational. I like to understand how your past affects your present state and what you want for your future. I help you set goals so we can identify needs and successes . I enjoy using person centered techniques to work with people in life transitions like people with relationship issues, anxiety, and depression.
I believe the therapeutic relationship plays the most important role in whether or how therapy works. I provide a safe space to explore and speak about the joys and frustrations of living one’s authentic life. There is no one size fits all method to my therapy, every person I help adds something to my skill set. Visit my website for more ways to contact me.
