About My Clients
Existing is sometimes exhausting, and we find different ways to cope with this. These ways of coping might conflict with the demands of other people or with the necessity to live up to an image. It all seems so out of control. Psychotherapy offers an alternative: though you speak from your knowledge (from the part of you that you think is in control), I listen for and respond to your truth: the “unconscious” part of you that speaks from underneath. This is where the answers are. You have them.
My Approach to Helping
This relationship will feel a bit strange at first and unlike the ones you have anywhere else. You will be encouraged to follow your train of thought anywhere, out loud. Nothing is off-limits. There is no need for polish or coherence. The unconscious follows its own logic. The thoughts you would normally censor are the most valuable. Who you truly become in relationship with is the mystery in you. The process is long and takes patience, but is warm, moving, and if believed in it can bring about a new way of being in the world. You become reunited with what parts of you you’ve lost. As serious and heavy as it sounds, with comfort it becomes very playful and fun. This, if nothing else, is the point: for child, adolescent, or adult to find their unique style of play that is non-transgressive yet unbeholden to demand or image.
