Individual Therapy
I take a three-pronged approach to working with individuals. First, I listen to the symptoms that bring them into therapy and assess how stable their current relationships with friends, family, and careers are. Then, I take a psychosocial history, identifying traumatic events. Eventually, I hear their deepest longing for the future.
Since the past, present, and future are often intertwined, I can hear the connections and help you see them. With a difficult childhood, you didn’t cause the challenges in your life. Unfortunately, you are the one who will need to do the work to make things better. I won’t know the specifics of the journey, but I can lead you through that challenging work.
Inner Courage Therapy
Inner Courage Therapy is about increasing awareness of hidden things in our subconscious. If hidden, they are likely driving us towards a destination different from or even opposite from the one we desire.
I always keep your personal growth and the health of your internal and external relationships central to the work.
Here is the work we will do together
Awareness
You become aware that you have expectations that don’t match reality, which is why you are unhappy.
Reset Expectations
You will reset your expectations to something more realistic; you can transform your relationship with yourself.
Reflection
You learn that what is dysfunctional in a relationship with a loved one reflects your relationship with yourself.
Personal Growth
Others will stop disappointing you in the same way as your self-esteem grows.
