About me and my therapy practice
Therapy is best when it's cooperative. You are the expert in your own life (although it might not always feels like that). My job is to provide a space where you can explore the contours of your life, and how you make meaning out of it.
This is how we'll work together. I am an integrative therapist, so I can work with different therapy traditions, and we can move between them if we need to.
And I'm relational, so I believe that what is happening between us is part of what's happening in the therapy. This creates more space for feedback, and create the therapy that's going to work for you.
Practice description
I like to start with a free 20 minute phone call. We won't get into any material here, but its a space to get to know each other, and for you to ask any questions about how I work.
Then we'll start with the therapy, in person.
My first session
The first session will usually be led by me. This is to make sure that I get a basic picture of some of your material, and to warm us up to each other. Some people find talking about themselves very daunting, and so the first session should be a gentler introduction.
Then, the work begins as normal. From the second session onwards, you are able to bring in whatever you want in the session. Over time, your comfort level and safety will hopefully increase. This is how the work can deepen.
