Psychotherapy essentially... is the removal of the impediments that impede joy and freedom in life. By having a licensed experience professional, help sort through the various issues that are blocking you from a valued and focused way of life; one can regain or possibly acquire the joy of living that brings about rewards and freedom.

My approach to psychotherapy is Jungian-oriented. Jungian-oriented psychotherapy seeks to help the Client understand "the story beneath the story" by making unconscious material conscious over a period of time. This type of psychotherapy is typically long-term and unfolds over a number of months. The belief is that the more conscious an individual is of the contents of his or her psyche, the more the individual will be able to make choices based out of that consciousness as opposed to unconsciously repeating the same behavior despite efforts to change. My approach can include dream work and active imagination to access unconscious material.

Psychotherapy is gaining a better understanding of how one thinks and then seeing how those thoughts make them feel, which then leads to behaviors which are not always helpful. So counseling provides the perfect environment for people who need support through life transitions, a place to process or sort things out, and to gain an objective viewpoint. It also provides a great environment to learn self improvement or assertiveness skills and to learn how to communicate effectively.

Sometimes life is just plain difficult. A relationship with a counselor can often help individuals discover a new perspective or learn ways of interacting better with others. Often referred to as "talk therapy", psychotherapy can help people gain a new sense of self for effectual change.

My approach to psychotherapy starts with providing a safe, non-judgmental place for clients to talk about what they are experiencing or struggling with. I work with clients to help address their specific concerns by coming up with plans together. I provide resources, tools, and an opportunity to explore their concerns and questions. My approach combines relationship with current research and practices in psychotherapy to provide the best long-term results for each client.

Psychotherapy is a form of counseling in which underlying stressors and sources of anxiety become known to the client so that he or she can implement positive solutions. When a person feels too overwhelmed to deal with his or her problems, worries excessively, is constantly on edge, or is experiencing strained relationships, psychotherapy can help tremendously. I enjoy helping people gain greater self-awareness and insight and empowering them with proven tools to achieve healthier relationships, an improved mood, less stress, and more energy and peace.
