Psychotherapy can have many benefits.� It can be a place to unload, talk, vent, and process life's challenges, big and small.�� Many people come to therapy in order to better understand their own thoughts and feelings, how these impact their lives - especially when they are overwhelming.� Clients also develop skills which help them to deal more effectively with life's challenges.� Often, clients use their knowledge about past and present experiences to help understand their current emotions, thoughts and behaviors.� There is no single path toward healing.�
I enjoy the unique challenges and opportunities that make up each individual's circumstances.� This also means that I will work collaboratively with you to develop goals and strategies which will best address your needs, and include your beliefs and values.�
The most important aspect of any psychotherapy is a good fit between client and therapist.
The majority of psychotherapy research indicates that the most influential factor in a positive outcome in psychotherapy is the quality of the relationship between therapist and client.� This makes not only practical sense (it is easier to talk to someone whom you trust!),� but intuitive sense as well: we are shaped by the relationships that we have throughout our lives.� Each relationship offers its own opportunities and challenges; therefore I encourage you to meet with me for two or three sessions to evaluate your level of comfort with me and my ability to be of help to you.��
