I help
clients examine, confront, clarify, & reassess their
understanding of the limits they place on their freedom &
happiness. Together we look at the ideas, emotions, &
behaviors that emerge from issues relating to family of
origin, relationships, sexuality, & personal identity.
I
approach people who come to my office as clients and not as
patients, as equals in a process to help you deal with your
suffering. Many of our struggles come from traumas of the
past, and in our work together, we will clarify the
emotional, behavioral, and cognitive aspects of those
struggles so that you may learn how to overcome them.
I believe that these struggles are often caused by our
relationships to other people. Viewed in this light,
we will explore the relationship between important others in
our lives and the ways that we view ourselves presently. Although from time to time I may offer an interpretation,
mostly I will help you clarify your own understanding of
yourself. In my office you will direct your own
understanding, growth, and healing. I will be there to
support you and to offer you a safe place to do your work.
Most of my clients often see me to work on their emotions
about the past, present, and future. This means that part
of your work might include developing a better understanding
of how your emotions work, how to experience them more
authentically, and to become current with the past so you
can free up your future. Finally, the work you do with me
is completely up to you. I will be there with you
emotionally to keep you safe and to clarify your
understanding of yourself and what you want to become.
