Psychotherapy
I believe in the therapeutic frame: a dedicated time and place just for you to talk about whatever is on your mind. People may use the space differently. Some to identify things they wish to change (and what gets in the way of change). Others to better understand loved ones and more deeply understand how relationship pattens get reenacted.
​
Together, we can look at the pieces and make sense of them. We can be curious about what is coming up for you-- in your thoughts, feelings and in your body. Sometimes you may come in and not know what to talk about. We can talk about that too.
Therapy is a relationship. The person of the therapist is as important to the work as is the client. Each mutually influence each other. Through this process, unconscious relational processes and patterns are uncovered. For example, in our sessions, I may do or say things that remind you of someone you know and you may have feelings about it. Therapists call this phenomenon “transference” and exploring and speaking to it can be an important part of our work together.
