Welcome..

​

Research shows that effective therapy can take many forms. While this variety of approaches reflects the creativity and dynamism of the field, it inevitably creates confusion and paralysis at a time when you might already be feeling overwhelmed. 

 

Maybe you want to work on a particular issue such as an addiction, relationship dynamic or a troublesome complex. You may have deep questions related to existence and meaning that you want to explore with an impartial witness, or simply want to be heard and your suffering understood.  

​

Whatever your reasons, if you are considering working with me it will be important for you to know a bit about how I understand the therapeutic process.

 

I consider psychotherapy to be primarily a process of discovery and meaning-making. not simply pain-relief.  I believe that psychological and emotional challenges in life are an intrinsic part of character formation and human development as opposed to problems that require solutions. Although this may seem like a subtle distinction, it makes all the difference!

 

Psychotherapy can be a space to explore your relationship to the challenges in your life, and how the meaning you give them determines the quality of your day to day experience. With increased awareness comes the capacity to make conscious choices.
