My Approach
Each person that comes into my office is unique. They have had unique life experiences and have unique goals. I take these differences in account and work with my clients to customize the process to best fit their needs. One of the first things that I'll ask you in session is, what are your goals? I'll ask, what are 2-3 things that you'd like to see different in your life or relationship, that you'd like to be doing more or less of, or that you'd like to be doing better? Developing goals and the structure of therapy is a collaborative process and will evolve over the course of treatment. I need your help in this process to know what resonates with you and what doesn't, and to know what's helpful and what isn't. From there, we'll adjust and evolve!
The approach that I take for the process of therapy is called a systemic approach, and more specifically a humanistic and experiential approach. All that means is that I believe context and relationships matter to our well-being, and I believe we change when we have new experiences. Mental health develops through a combination of biological, psychological, and social influences. I will take context into account as we consider the best route to get you to your goals. At the core, I believe that we are all trying to do our best, and we are all capable of doing our best. I trust that what you're feeling right now is important. I trust that your body knows exactly what it needs. You and your mental and relational health are valuable. You are worth it.
