Getting started

 

Starting therapy can often bring up many feelings; excitement, anxiety fear, hope, anger, defeat...and taking those first steps to find a good fit between you and your therapist is an important part of the therapeutic process.  We will work together to explore what feels comfortable to you and how to create a safe space and pace that is comfortable.



 

How I work

 

Our sense of self and difficulties in the world are often tied to our early experiences and/or significant life events.  Making sense of those early relationships and events can help us better understand our patterns and interactions with others.  We will do this by utilizing our therapeutic relationship to explore those dynamics and reactions in a safe space to  practice healthier ways of being; and to better understand who you are and how to help you better align with how you'd like your life and relationships to be.

Who is therapy for

 

Therapy is for anyone who would like to have a greater awareness and understanding of their relationship dynamics.  Therapy is also for people who have a desire to make changes in their lives of the patterns and dynamics that don't feel good to them anymore or may be creating problems.  Therapy can be a place to increase clarity, courage, resilience, and better coping skills.  Traumatic events don't have to be a life sentence, they can provide opportunities for growth and together we can build your strength and resilience while healing.

What can I expect

 

Our first few sessions will be establishing an understanding of each other and your therapeutic goals and expectations.  Therapy can range from short term (a few months) or long term (a year or longer) depending on your needs, desire, and interest.  You may begin to notice shifts in how you see yourself and experience others right away, and for others it can take a while to see and feel changes.
