Individual Therapy

 

There are times in life when our friends and loved ones can only help us so much, despite their best intentions.  At such times it makes sense to reach out for professional help.  Far from a sign of pathology, this is a sign of health as our human vitality reaches for its natural inclination toward survival and thriving.  

 

Research shows us that the most important factor in therapy, regardless of the theories or techniques employed by the therapist or the issues that surface for the client, is the relationship.  Therefore, our first task in therapy is to build a rapport and ensure that our personalities are a good fit for effective therapeutic work to occur.  Having a safe space to be seen and heard is a natural and universal human need.  I like to work collaboratively to create this for you first and foremost.  With this established in each session, I will help you define what the real "problem" is, create a vision for your future, and take the steps to bring your goals to fruition.  

 

In addition to talk therapy, I can provide arts activities unique to your needs to deepen your therapeutic experience in a way that talk alone does not.
