About My Clients
Sometimes we have doubts about work, family life or relationships. You realize that life seems off and wonder how to fix things. As we hurry through life we can lose touch with our authentic Self and symptoms of depression/anxiety may appear. Valleys are a natural part of life but you do not need to suffer through these alone. As you reach out for help you will come to realize that it is during these times exactly, when we grow the most - I am here for you, to listen and help figure things out.
My Background and Approach
Most importantly it is my goal to meet you where you are at. I have extensive analytical training following Carl Jung as well as Masterson's approach to personality disorders. I consider myself a facilitator, a tool, to help you find your path and heal. In general I will not assign homework but may encourage you at times to reflect on certain issues or to begin a dream journal or general journal for deeper thoughts. The longer I have practiced the more aware I have become of the tight connection between our body and mind. I will encourage and help you to gain greater body awareness as our body carries the feeling before it becomes an active thought in our mind. Some parts of therapy will focus on lowering symptoms by creating a tool box of how to deal better with symptoms. However, on the other hand these are bandages and once the underlying cause is explored and worked through it has been my experience that the symptoms will disappear on their own.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Nobody's life is only a bed of roses and each of us have to go through difficult times at one time or another, including me. Based on my training I needed to be in therapy myself as well for a long time to work through my issues so that they do not interfere when I work with you. I am aware what it is like and aware that therapy is not easy and can be very hard and difficult. I believe we all have to capacity to grow and heal. I feel it goes without saying, being a therapist, that I am supportive of people of all skin colors, religious beliefs, sexual orientations and will do my most to create a safe and non-judgemental space for you.
