In consideration of this, I utilize a variety of approaches with an underlying warm, person-centered approach.

I can also utilize hypnotherapy.

During a typical week, it can be difficult to know how we’re feeling and what's bothering us. Our attention has to be diverted to so many external things, that we barely have time to understand what’s going on internally. All we know is that we’re not feeling great and are mentally struggling in some way. Or we know exactly what’s bothering us, but have no idea where to go from there. Therapy is the 1 hour a week where we can focus on those mental/emotional aspects of life. Therapy is the place where we gain understanding of where we want to go in life, what may be getting in our way, and what we can do to help ourselves.
