What to Expect

The effectiveness of the therapeutic process, I believe, resides in large part in how we meet each other. It's not about a specific technique or modality, though I will strive to utilize an approach that feels right for you. It is also not about problem-solving, though identifying workable solutions to identifiable problems may be part of the work we do together. Therapy is a relational process in which the gift and the challenge is to be open, authentic, and self-reflective with another.

To support the health and vibrancy of our relationship, I will strive to be present with you in much the same way I would like a therapist to be present with me. You can expect that I will: 
  • Listen deeply, with curiosity and interest in whatever emerges for you. 
  • Hold any difficult emotions and sensations you may be experiencing with kindness and gentle attention.
  • Be clear and direct in sharing with you my observations and experience of the work we do together. 
  • Respect and respond to your goals for therapy and your sense of what is helpful.
  • Offer you an explanation of how the techniques I use in session may be helpful for you.
  • Invite you to reflect and provide feedback on how our work is progressing.
