HOW I PRACTICE PSYCHOTHERAPY
I take into account the mind, body, and spirit as means to understanding the self. In therapy, we explore your life through your dreams, memories, fantasies, beliefs, thoughts, images, and feelings, in order to fully understand you together. We begin to piece together all that has happened in your life. In this way, I work from a depth psychoanalytic perspective. We look at how the unconscious meanings you have made of your life experiences can later guide your choices and responses in current relationships, work, school, and life decisions. These meanings or beliefs are often outside of our conscious awareness, but can guide your choices in ways that are problematic or self-defeating. I also direct your attention to your body to see if you are receiving information that may help you access your awareness to your environment, and make reactions and choices more clear. Sometimes the body and mind can feel disconnected, and you may either feel too much and be confused by it, or think too much and feel stuck in your head. Therapy can help integrate this, and lead to feelings of wholeness and wellbeing. I also use cognitive-behavioral therapy to offer specific skills for communication, self-awareness, and better access to your emotions, thoughts, and beliefs. We collaborate together on helping you tolerate your feelings and understand the unconscious meanings behind your life choices. Our goal is to create balance in your life, and help you live the life you deserve--one filled with abundance, fulfillment, inner peace, and happiness.
