My Approach to Helping
WHO I HELP ...
In my therapy practice, I have the privilege of helping clients as they overcome some of the most difficult times in their lives.
When clients first contact me for a consult, they are often suffering with difficult situations that can feel overwhelming and exhausting. In the midst of pain, it’s common for those who reach out to feel stuck and uncertain about how to move forward. Many people will feel unsure if therapy can even help.
The truth is that it takes real courage to reach out and ask for help. So I am consistently inspired, on a daily basis, by the strength and resolve I get to witness every time a client sits down in the therapy room with me. Just by starting therapy, my clients are already proving what they’re capable of — bold action, despite any anxiety, in order to truly give themselves the attention and care they have deserved.
Still wondering if therapy can actually help you?
Here are some common challenges you may be facing, that help clients overcome every single day in my practice:
*Your relationship with your partner feels like it’s falling apart.
*You’ve learned to “suck it up” and “try harder” to manage your stress, but you’re just treading water.
*You’ve learned to cope by distracting yourself with whatever “feels good.”
*You’re experiencing challenges within your relationships with family, friends, or co-workers.
*You’ve experienced trauma, loss, or a major life transition.
HOW I HELP ...
As a Licensed Psychologist, I have specialized, doctoral-level training in a wide range of effective therapies and practices for these sorts of issues. That said, you are the true expert when it comes to you and your life. When you come in for therapy with me, we’ll combine that expertise.
Whether you’re coming in for one-on-one or couples therapy, we’ll work together to: 1) clearly understand the issues that led you to therapy; 2) decide on goals, based on what matters most to you; and 3) create a treatment plan that will lead you towards meaningful and lasting positive change.
Treatment may integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches, personally tailored to meet your specific needs, preferences, and goals. Along the way, we will develop new strategies to overcome your challenges, empower you with psychological skills, and find practical solutions to accomplish your goals.
