Your NeedsMost people seek out psychotherapy because they want to solve particular problems in their lives or otherwise change something about themselves. Sometimes the goal of therapy involves understanding and controlling specific target symptoms, such as panic attacks, crying spells, or feelings of hopelessness. At other times, people want to target problems with their job, their relationship, or something that has happened in the past. Beyond defining your immediate needs, the best way to evaluate the outcome of therapy in the long-run is to establish concrete, realistic goals that you hope to achieve.
My RolePsychotherapy can help individuals cope more effectively, expand options, and make important changes. My role as your therapist is to offer a safe space to explore your issues, find solutions, and receive my support throughout the process. My view of a patient is beyond a set of symptoms. Each client is a unique person who brings his or her particular experiences, strengths, and vulnerabilities. I believe in creating a comfortable, confidential, and supportive therapeutic environment. During our work together we will focus on the goals of your treatment and the ways of approaching those goals depending on your individual symptoms, skills, and needs.
