Therapy is what you make it.
What you get out of therapy is directly related to what you put into it.
You always have a choice and staying in your comfort zone is certainly one of them. But staying in your comfort zone may mean you remain stressed out, overwhelmed, and burnt out.
In sessions, we will challenge the limiting beliefs that interfere in your relationships. And get you to a place where you can have emotionally healthy relationships, with yourself and with others.
Therapy with me gives you the space and container to fully HEAL.
Life is imperfect, and so are people.
That’s what makes life beautiful, unpredictable, worth living, and at times sad.
And that’s ok.
When I’m in therapy mode, I draw on my education and training, and on my full and often unexpected life experiences. From moving across the ocean, living in the fast-paced New York of the 1990s, losses and grief, cross-cultural marriage, raising a teenager (and so much more), I deeply understand the complexities life lays out for each of us.
Some say that you don’t have to experience something to relate and understand the other person. Maybe you don’t, but it definitely helps. And it makes for a direct and straightforward therapist.
My approach to therapy
Therapy is deep work.
Whether we meet for 30 minutes or 5 hours, exploring and clearing the layers, complexities, and gunk that interferes in your life, that’s profound work. The result? Empowerment, deep knowledge of self, improved sense of self and relationships.
Not meant to last forever.
Therapy isn’t meant to last forever. We’ll clear out and address what needs clearing, so you can go live your life without the weight of what brought you to therapy. When you want to/need to come back, the door is always open.
Tailored to you.
Different life experiences call for different approaches to therapy. Each aspect of therapy is tailored to you and your needs - session length, interventions used, virtual or in person. And we tailor it together.
Private and discreet.
You can leave my office without going back through the waiting room, so you don’t bump into others. The choice of not accepting insurance protects your information from the prying eyes of insurance companies. And of course, what you share in therapy stays in therapy (ok, with some legally required exceptions).
