At its core, my approach to psychotherapy is three-pronged:
1. It is centered around the exploration and discussion of the full range of your emotions. I help you gain a more felt and embodied experience of your emotions (rather than one solely based on intellect or insight), which in turn, can facilitate greater spontaneity, flexibility, creativity, and vitality in your life.
2. The relationship that you and I co-create is full of interpersonal information that we can use to change recurring patterns that are painful or self-defeating.
3. I understand that cultural context matters in all aspects of our emotional lives. As such, my hope is that therapy gets you more interested in your own individual differences and the various influences or systems that have shaped you.
I see my role as an empathic companion as a well as an active guide who creates a safe base from which to walk on paths less trodden. I follow your map of the terrain, but ask that we pause and pay attention to the shapes, colors, and, lines, so to speak, of such a landscape. Often in this deep exploration, things emerge that we least expect -- and I offer spaciousness and steadiness to you as we navigate what's coming up in the here and the now of a session. Throughout these endeavors, I respect the nuances and particularities of your complicated and (likely) contradictory emotional truths.
