Psychotherapy
Growth occurs when individuals confront problems, struggle to master them, and through that struggle develop new aspects of their skills, capacities, views about life.
-Carl Rogers
Is psychotherapy right for me?
Psychotherapy is often appropriate when problems begin to cause significant distress and interfere in your everyday life. This distress may be impacting your relationships with friends and family, your ability to work, or your physical health. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about how to feel better.
Individual therapy can help you resolve problematic beliefs, feelings, behaviors, negative physical responses, or relationship issues. Through therapy, you can learn to recognize and change unhealthy behaviors, reduce painful emotions, and improve your relationships. My goal is to help you grow and thrive as you create a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
Therapy can help you:
Feel stronger in the face of adversity
Change behaviors that hold you back
Heal from past traumas
Improve physical symptoms
Enhance your relationships
Increase your sense of contentment
Cope with symptoms
Handle strong emotions
Improve your problem solving skills
Identify your goals
Setting goals is an important part of psychotherapy. I find that therapy is more effective if we are able to identify clearly defined, future-oriented goals to work towards. Therefore, our work begins with clarifying the specific problems you are dissatisfied with and translating them into well-formed goals. Together, we will determine your individual goals for treatment, and develop a specific course of action.
