Psychotherapy is a process leading to understanding one's true self and struggles. Once difficulties begin to "make sense", how to tackle personal problems becomes clearer. No one's depression, relationships, anxiety, or self-esteem difficulties are exactly like anyone else's. That is why is understand one’s unique life is more helpful than other’s “advice.” Current problems often influenced by past experiences. It is important to recognize these assumptions for what they are, just assumptions, and not necessarily the truth. Good therapy results in personal understanding, but more importantly, a greater sense of being alive.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative process; the therapist must be serious and respectful and possess a solid reservoir of knowledge about the human condition. The therapy-seeker must, in addition to wanting symptom relief, bring to the process his or her curiosity and some desire for increased self awareness. People come to psychotherapy in emotional turmoil and/or pain. While this is usually the first focus, quickly it will become important to try to understand one's personality style, one's relationship patterns and the roots of these patterns, one's thinking style and the characteristic way one goes about managing, deflecting or enacting emotional storms.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing individual therapy for adults , with current availability for self-pay telehealth appointments. I approach therapy from the empowering perspective that we are not in control of what happens to us or around us, but we are responsible for the consequences of how we choose to allow these things to affect us and how we choose to respond. By making different choices, we can feel differently. In any given situation, we are doing the best we can with what we have, and, through therapy, we can build better ways to actively engage in life, instead of merely existing.
