My Approach to Helping

In individual therapy we explore patterns of behavior so that in moving forward you can use new ideas or look at situations in a different way. I believe we all struggle to achieve goals and in that struggle there is a great deal to be learned; about oneself, the methods used to face challenges and how one may wish to change behaviors or thoughts.

My Role as a Therapist

I view my role as a therapist as being a navigator; helping my clients understand their choices and options, point out behaviors or patterns they might not have noticed and offer options perhaps not previously contemplated.

On the Fence About Going to Therapy?

Starting therapy can be unsettling given that it might be a completely new experience. If you are unsure I'd ask you to think about how things are going for you now; are you feeling the way you want to feel? Are your behaviors getting you the results you'd hope for? Do you feel it might be useful to have another person help you make a plan for the future? Therapy is really just a conversation with another person and while getting to know someone new is always a bit anxiety provoking it can prove to be very useful in the long run.
