I treat adult individuals from an "insight-oriented" or "depth" perspective, listening to both what is said and what is not said, in hopes of better understanding your experiences and patterns of relating to yourself and others. Learning to listen to our thoughts, feelings, fantasies, and dreams can be a useful way to develop greater knowledge of ourselves.
I find that we as humans are often held back by anxiety, insecurity, or feelings of inadequacy that tend to surface in our relationships with others. Understanding the different ways that anxiety or insecurity shows up in our lives allows us to make connections between the different experiences which cause us stress and, over time, to become more at ease with ourselves. There is no topic that is outside the bounds of therapy, though it often takes time to develop trust and comfort in voicing our most honest thoughts and feelings.
Paying attention to our nighttime dreams can also be a useful way of learning about parts of ourselves we may not fully understand. This can often enrich the experience of therapy because it offers another source of information about the thoughts, emotions, and conflicts that we're not always aware of in our day-to-day life.
