There are literally hundreds of therapy approaches. And yet, effective treatment always involves the same truth: No matter what kind it is, in order to really get anywhere you have to *experience* something, not just talk about it. Let's face it: Emotions are more powerful than thoughts. That's why I specialize in focused, experiential psychotherapy. Beyond just coping, I help people face the pain points they usually ignore or avoid, paving the way towards positive change in shorter time frames.
Before you solve any problem, you first need to articulate it clearly. Our first task will be to get a very clear, shared picture of the inner difficulties you are facing, and how they are currently impacting your quality of life. Along the way, we will name and track your real time experience in session as we get to the heart of the matter.
In session, you will notice I am compassionate, direct, focused, and challenging. Please visit my website for a fuller picture of what it might be like to work with me in therapy/counseling.
If you've been to therapy before but were left underwhelmed, then maybe you're looking for a different experience-something more advanced. Can it be more intense? Sure. Is it worth the effort? I believe you'll find that it is.
AEDP and ISTDP are powerful models towards significant positive change in briefer time frames.
Together we will pay close attention to your moment-to-moment experience in a curious, non-judgemental way.
Effective treatment must address mind and body in session as they are inextricably linked.
Parts work can bring additional value and impact to the therapy session.
Role playing and guided imagery can be tools to deepen experience.
