Individual Therapy
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
– Maimonides
Lack of self-awareness is like a fish out of water.
One of the basic truths of human psychology is that we do not fully know ourselves.
If we’re not aware of what’s wrong or how to fix it, this can cause suffering.
Like water to a fish, our ways of being can become so ingrained that we do not stop to think about them – unless they start getting in the way.
This is when life gets complicated, and this is when we start seeking answers.
Therapy helps create self-awareness.
The art and science of psychotherapy allows you to alleviate suffering through awareness.
I work from a relational perspective, so I consider the impact of relationships and experiences throughout life to be formative in shaping an individual.
My goal is to help individuals understand themselves, so they can become more aware.
If it’s on your mind, it’s important.
While all successful therapies relieve symptoms like anxiety or depression, my work aims for more.
It’s about focusing on helping you build core psychological strengths, such as the capacity to have more fulfilling relationships, to use your abilities to the fullest, and to face life’s challenges with greater ease.
I practice by creating relationships with individuals who want to heal from pain.
You are offered a safe, open space for you to understand what’s on your mind and why it’s important.
The practice of therapy is counter-cultural.
This is one of the only spaces where you can say exactly what comes to mind without rushing to judgment. This allows us to understand together how things are linked and how they affect you.
Creating a reflective space in therapy allows you to internalize this ability to better understand yourself and others.
It’s about getting below the surface of what you have already thought of to unlock new potential.
Learn to go through life swimmingly.
Develop the ability to swim with or against the tide when you need to.
It is a joy to see patients come to know and appreciate their own mind. We learn together. Confidence grows and possibilities open.
