My Approach
It is a courageous endeavor to seek out help from a therapist and taking this first step involves a great deal of determination and trust. Therapy is a deeply personal experience and it is of the utmost importance for me to establish an environment that is warm, supportive, understanding, and professional from the very beginning. I aim to bring a level of humanity to what I do and because therapy is an interpersonal process, I strive to create an atmosphere that is empathic, genuine, and attentive to your needs.
Psychotherapy is a process that is unique to each particular therapist and client. Because the quality of the therapeutic relationship holds so much importance for positive outcomes, it is vital for there to be a good fit between us. Therefore, I believe it is important to view the first several sessions as a period of evaluation for our work together. Given the necessity for a good working relationship, we will use this time to see if there is a level of comfort, trust, and confidence in how therapy is taking shape, as these are critical elements for the development of a positive collaboration.
While an overall general goal for therapy is to alleviate suffering, people often come into therapy with an idea of the things they intend to address. Frequently there is a situation, event, or central issue that is affecting one’s psychological well-being. At the outset of therapy, the determination of goals will be collaborative and together we will continually evaluate your progress in order to ensure it is being made. You will find that I tailor my approach to each individual with an eye on being flexible in adjusting objectives as needed to best support your needs.
