Relational psychotherapy focuses on the relationship between the therapist and the patient as the primary method of change. How does this work and why would this be a good thing?
By focusing on how we speak, in addition to what we speak about, we can gain a more comprehensive sense of your inside world as well as the world in which you live. Psychotherapy focuses on the thoughts, feelings, memories, behaviors, and experiences, as well as the mistakes and miscommunications, that are generated during our sessions. Using this data, we can come to a richer and vastly more meaningful understanding about how you have been living in the world, how others respond to you, and how this has contributed to your difficulties. In addition to this, we will explore your past, focusing on your attachment difficulties, potentially traumatic experiences you have had, and the thoughts and feelings that you have compartmentalized and decoupled from along the way.
In this way, psychotherapy is a creative, supportive, explorative, emotionally attuned, and confidential process. And it is remarkably adaptable to any type of concern. This type of process is not necessarily an easy one. And so building and maintaining a trustworthy, safe, dependable, and calm space is essential in the beginning and throughout the psychotherapy process.
I specialize in treating relationship issues, family conflict, mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, anger, or emptiness, career problems including feeling you are in the wrong career or that your career is not thriving, low self-esteem and low self-confidence, and also artistic blockages.
I work well with individuals who are interested in gaining insights into their psychology in order to live more fulfilled, realized, and happier lives. I am particularly interested in professionals who are suffering from depression, anxiety, emptiness, or anger resulting from stress and dissatisfaction with career and relationships. I am also very attentive to issues regarding gender, gender roles, and gender stereotypes. My approach to treatment is interactive, emotionally attuned, and mindful. I am keenly interested in your attachment to family and significant others.
