Personal Statement
As you prepare to embark on this journey of psychotherapy, it is important that you have a guide who is well-versed in psychological practice yet respects you as the expert on yourself. Thank you for considering me to walk with you.I am skilled in the use of both shorter- and longer-term models of treatment, and it is important that together we determine the appropriate length of treatment. Whether you are seeking support as you negotiate a major life transition or your concerns have been life-long and complex struggles, I seek to develop a relationship with you that is characterized by warmth, compassion, authenticity, and safety in which you feel understood as a whole person rather than just a diagnosis. In this context, exploration of emotional wounds, fears, and disappointments as well as life's joys, pleasures, and surprises can be explored. As clients courageously take on this work, they frequently find that their disturbing symptoms improve and relationships with family and friends become more meaningful and less encumbered by emotional baggage.
