You may be seeking therapy for any number of reasons. It may be a life crisis, relationship problem, work stress, unresolved issues from your childhood or simply a desire to live a happier, healthier life. The initial phase of therapy involves you and I discussing your goals for therapy and various treatment options. We then decide on a course of action best suited for the type of issues you are dealing with.
In my clinical work I draw upon well-researched, evidence-based psychotherapeutic approaches that promote growth and change. It is important to me that therapy is an interactive, cooperative venture that goes beyond a recounting of history or symptom-management. The attunement of therapist and client is the beginning of the healing journey and there is a growing body of research in neuropsychiatry that confirms how our relationship with our bodies , as well as, other people greatly influences our health. As a therapist, I see my role as a guide to help you understand what your emotions, body and mind are trying to tell you. By drawing upon this vast reservoir of knowledge within, profound and lasting change is possible.
The types of issues that people present in therapy include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Anger
- Grief
- Relationship problems
- Parenting issues
- Low self-esteem
- Life transition points eg, new baby, new job, retirement, empty-nester, late bloomer
