What Therapy Is Like
Therapy is a safe, confidential space where you can explore your honest thoughts and feelings without judgement or pressure - A valuable contrast to even the most supportive conversations with friends and family. As someone outside your personal life, I can offer fresh perspectives that help illuminate patterns you might not otherwise notice. Through Psychodynamic, Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution-Focused, and Existential approaches, we can work together to address both immediate challenges and deeper underlying issues that are affecting your life. Our work might involve examining and redirecting thought patterns that aren't serving you, understanding how past experiences influence your current choices, and exploring meaningful questions about your life's direction. In the therapeutic space, you'll have room to authentically connect with your emotions and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships. Whether you're navigating specific challenges or seeking deeper self-discovery, I am here to support your journey with warmth, expertise, and a genuine commitment to your growth and wellbeing.
