Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

My practice focuses on issues which concern loss and grief. Psychotherapy involves exploring your feelings, ideas and thoughts and then examining how they may be interfering with your having a meaningful, satisfying, and productive life. In grief therapy, the same holds true. The only difference is that your loss is what brings you to therapy at this particular time in your life. My therapeutic style is collaborative, respectful and interactive. As you tell your story we will explore your past and current relationships, patterns, behaviors, and beliefs. This is your story and unique to you. The telling and exploring in an empathic, trusting and compassionte therapeutic relationship allows for a healing experience and will help you gain a new perspective and new energy. With this comes greater freedom to make decisions and choices about your life and goals; how you want to be in the world after losing an integral part of your self.

 

More Info About My Practice

In order to understand the nature of your particular situation---we will talk about your specific loss, your childhood, relationships, dreams (past, present and future) , your wishes and your goals. Sharing your story is an important first step in managing and processing your emotional pain. You will be encouraged to go at your own pace and with my support you will find your own way of communicating your thoughts and feelings. In the process of establishing a trusting working relationship in therapy, you will discover new ways of approaching and re-shaping your life with your loss. As in any relationship, the amount of time it takes to create this trust varies from person to person. Depending on your needs and goals, I offer both short and long term therapy to help you navigate through the emotional challenges and struggles you may face. Each person and situation is unique--- together we will tailor a therapy to fit your particular needs.
