WHAT TO EXPECT IN THERAPY

We will foster a greater sense of ease in your life and open new avenues to joy and fulfillment. This is a fundamentally collaborative process, which I facilitate by providing compassionate witnessing, empathic reflection, and skilled guidance.

 

We all have different aspects of our being that show up in different contexts. We might find ourselves habitually critical, nurturing, perfectionistic, anxious, angry, or numbing out. Together we will explore the functions, needs, fears, and hopes of the different aspects of you and support you accessing deeper understanding and resources.

 

Therapy is likely to include processing your thoughts and emotions, exploring your embodied experience, practicing mindful awareness, developing additional tools and resources, identifying your values, and achieving self-defined goals. Together we will celebrate your successes and hopefully share a little laughter along the way!
