My Approach

My approach to working with you is shaped by the way I listen, which influences how I respond during our sessions. I encourage you to speak as openly as possible about whatever comes to mind. The idea is that no matter where you begin or what you share, the common thread is you, so your thoughts will naturally guide us to the places we need to explore.

It is natural to find it challenging to express everything that comes to mind. There are reasons why certain thoughts stay out of our awareness or why some topics feel difficult to approach. It's human nature to seek help while also feeling apprehensive about change and personal growth. Therefore, both what you share and what feels difficult to share are valuable aspects of the therapeutic process.

I don't expect you to prepare or bring specific topics to our sessions. Simply bringing yourself is enough. My role is to use my training to help us navigate toward insight and progress. While I will listen attentively, it will be in a way that differs from typical conversation, as my focus is on listening for deeper patterns and meanings.

I pay close attention to the present moment during our work together. While the past shapes much of how we experience the present, we will explore its influence as it arises naturally in the here and now. Our early experiences and relationships shape our self-perception and ways of relating to others. Often, these experiences led us to develop protective patterns that may no longer serve us, contributing to current challenges and symptoms.

Many of these patterns and beliefs operate outside of our conscious awareness, making them difficult to change through sheer willpower or self-help materials alone. This is where therapy becomes essential. A trained therapist knows how to listen for these underlying dynamics, intervene effectively, and support transformative change. The outcome can be greater freedom, enhanced self-esteem, and more fulfilling relationships and life experiences.
