Getting Started
The decision to pursue psychotherapy can be stressful for many people. People who contact me are at various stages of readiness to begin therapy, and I am committed to gently guiding my patients toward a place of relief from emotional distress and an enhanced sense of well-being.
My Philosophy
As a psychologist, I focus on personality qualities, internalized images, habits, and beliefs that promote resilience. I pay very close attention to utilizing personal strengths to compensate for vulnerabilities, and I help patients to position themselves in a way that maximizes opportunities for growth and self-actualization.
Psychotherapy is an active process for both client and therapist. The most important predictor of success in psychotherapy is the establishment of a solid working relationship that offers the patient the freedom and safety to talk about experiences and beliefs that may have been previously avoided, unresolved, or considered uncomfortable as a topic to discuss with spouses, friends, boyfriends/girlfriends or family.
As a psychologist, I am committed to creating a discrete, empathic, safe, and highly confidential “holding environment” that offers my patients an opportunity to work on reducing emotional distress and make better personal choices. I am highly dedicated to providing my patients with a comfortable, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic environment.
I place emphasis on the importance of your beliefs and expectations in determining how you may act and why you choose certain paths in life. Even from your first days of life, you are developing a template for how to think and feel about yourself, your relationships, and the world in general. It is essential to recognize the impact of dreams, wishes, daydreams, and other psychological forces that remain just outside of your conscious awareness.
It is also crucial to understand that the process of altering feelings and thoughts is influenced by factors that do not involve logic or reason. Most people spend a disproportionate amount of time rationalizing and reasoning with the intention of making changes. Decreasing emotional distress is also about altering the meaning that you may attribute to representations and memories of people, events, and symbols that are significant to events in your life. When you alter the internal image, it can lead to a change in how you view the outer world. Therefore, all of the world can be viewed as a mirror of your internal life.
