Ideally, therapy is a place in which you’re encouraged to reflect on your challenging experiences, process your emotions, and develop insight to support you in the future. A therapeutic relationship with an emphasis on understanding allows us to collaborate in a uniquely empathetic way and discuss what is most important to you.

Therapy is an art, not a science. Since every person is a unique individual, therapy will vary depending on the persons involved. Hence, there can be no one approach to therapy which works for everyone. To facilitate change, different techniques may be used. However, the forging of a therapeutic alliance is essential for change. Research has shown that a successful outcome in therapy depends on this. In humanistic psychology, emphasis is placed on self-actualization. A propensity to self-actualize is presumed to exist in all persons. Karen Horney made the following analogy to illustrate this phenomenon.

Feeling understood, supported, and safe are key aspects of the therapeutic relationship. The process of therapy also includes developing and enhancing self understanding. Together, we can explore and understand difficult issues in your life and gain a deeper understanding of your situation. Through this process, we can begin to offer you new emotional experiences and provide you with skills to improve your relationships with others and yourself. In a safe setting with warmth and engagement, I provide an opportunity to gently navigate what is bothering you most.

You may find yourself constantly doubting yourself, often asking others for their input about major life decisions. You may feel that others “have it all together” while feeling overwhelmed with your roles and responsibilities. You may worry about everyone else’s needs but feel empty when you’ve made sure everyone else is taken care of. If any of this is true for you, you’ve come to the right place. Therapy is a safe and supportive haven to remind you that YOU matter. Your desires, strengths, and needs deserve to be held and acknowledged.

Feeling out of control over what you care about the most can make you feel like your world is crumbling around you. Feelings of worry, fear, confusion, anger, and sadness can make your relationships, parenting, work, or your education seem impossible and feel like a heavy burden.

I look to understand your pain and concern, and I want to tell you that you CAN overcome these obstacles that come your way in life. Having peace of mind is a mind frame.
