My Approach

I view therapy as a process of facilitating the movement of my client towards a utilization of all the tools which he/she already possesses when dealing with difficult life circumstances and emotional states. Many times, we are unable to see these tools as they have become hidden by negative thoughts and experiences from the past. Together, we will look at “cognitive distortions” or the ways in which you have been thinking which has up to this point made you unhappy or blocked you from having clarity in your life. We will begin to question these distortions and replace them with new ways of thinking which will manifest in immediate changes in the way you experience your life and participate in your relationships. We will practice new behaviors and ways of being through role play, visualization, body awareness, and many other experiential techniques and explorations. Our therapy sessions will be a place for you to begin to heal old wounds, to integrate new behaviors and to try out new and more joyous, full, and effective ways of being in the world.
