Get To Know Me
What is your style/approach to therapy?
My therapeutic approach is direct, nonjudgmental, patient and empathic; however, the greatest help I provide is giving you different perspectives and insight that may have not been considered before, which in turn may change the way you feel and think about the situation. It is my hope that after understanding how your past has shaped how you view your current circumstances, and presses on your future, that you can heal from it and move forward. At minimum, you will gain a better understanding and awareness of yourself, motivations, intentions, desires and triggers to make more informed decisions and work towards breaking old patterns. At best, you will learn to overcome the things that have hindered your progress and gradually restore your version of peace, joy and freedom back into your life.
How do you determine therapy goals with clients? What does that process look like?
Goals are determined by collaborating with the client and exploring what he/she wants to work on, and offering suggestions based on what is discussed.
Are there any recurring themes or issues you’ve noticed as you treat people in your area of specialization, and how has this insight guided your approach?
The main themes I have seen lack of self-esteem, low self-worth, not feeling seen, heard or cared for which is rooted in rejection and feeling unacceptable, typically engineered from childhood. It has helped me to see how much damage can be inflicted on children and can last for years in adulthood where people struggle with self-acceptance and self-love.
