Moving towards the things we want in life can be an exhilarating experience and oftentimes we find that a sense of peace accompanies the process. Depression, anxiety, frustration and apathy are all symptoms of being out of alignment. Our therapeutic process begins by illuminating the contrast between where you are today and where you want to be. I believe that negotiating the complexities of our lives with awareness and peace is at the heart of meeting the challenges of today’s world.
In therapy, we work together to clarify the thoughts and emotions that support our quality of life. We do this through conversation, reading and discussion, dream analysis and other creative modalities. I am not a therapist that sits back and listens without being a part of the conversation! Therapy is a dialogue and I believe that we both must be engaged in the movement toward wholeness in order to foster authentic growth. I work with you as an active participant in order to develop your emotional intelligence and recondition this new skill to work in partnership with your innate intelligence. In this way, we direct the process towards transformation.
Therapy is a friendly, gentle process that supports your movement toward change. Sessions are typically once or twice a week depending upon your circumstances. I have an eclectic approach to psychotherapy, based on a foundation of Jungian Depth Psychology and analysis with a sprinkling of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Process Work, and a general psychodynamic framework. Clients find that I incorporate different techniques depending upon their unique situation because we are all different! I am happy to work in conjunction with your doctor if medication is involved.
