My Psychotherapy Approach
My Approach to Helping You
- I believe that therapy can really help & this is supported by research.
- Also that it can often be more helpful than medication alone.
- And that we have “neuroplasticity” throughout our lives, which means our brains & ways of thinking, feeling & experiencing ourselves & our lives can always change.
- While change in thinking, feeling (both physical & emotional), & the brain may take time & effort, these are more permanent than what occurs with medication.
- Feeling understood, connected & really heard is the key to therapy being helpful & to this relationship helping us to heal.
- Struggles & challenges, including those defined as pathology or mental illness, are often normal variations & part of life. So, I use a supportive, accepting approach to seeing our own & others’ struggles, as both unique & normal.
- Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable and at home in talking with me.
