“It takes two to know one.”
Portrait of a Woman, Possibly Maria Trip (1639), Rembrandt van Rijn
Details matter.
Each individual is unique. Your thoughts, feelings and needs are shaped by your own background, upbringing, family dynamics, past interpersonal encounters and other significant life experiences. Psychotherapy is an emotional and relational process. As we discuss your concerns, past and current life events, the process of psychotherapy will unearth parts of your self, including thoughts, feelings, internal conflicts, and needs that you may not be aware or want to experience. My central role as your therapist is to help you talk about and understand more fully these unexamined parts of your self, develop greater acceptance of who you are, and to pave way for changes to your current struggles in family, romantic, and peer relationships, life fulfillment, job satisfaction and other significant areas of your life.
