Who can Benefit from Therapy?
Therapy can be beneficial for people who have had past traumas, difficulties maintaining relationships, those who feel controlled by their emotions, and those who are having difficulty with life changes or are in crisis situations. Together, we can explore how your past experiences effect the way you think, feel, and behave in your current relationships to find adaptive ways to change difficulties you may be experiencing. Therapy can also be beneficial to anyone looking to have better relationships, find more effective ways of managing their moods, increase awareness, personal growth, and increased abilities to communicate.
The Therapeutic Relationship
Research has shown that the most important aspect for change in therapy is a solid, genuine relationship. I strive to connect with each person I work with where they are in their lives, without judgment, and focus to support them in making the changes they are hoping for in a warm, caring way. I collaborate with my clients on creating goals for treatment and support them in finding their innate potential and resources.
Possible Benefits from Therapy
Emotional and psychological wellness can lead to changes in many aspects of our lives, from our physical health, our relationships, our spiritual health, and functioning at work. For example, investing in ourselves by investing in therapy can increase our self-esteem, understanding of ourselves, and increase our motivation to make changes in our lives when we recognize something isn't working.
