Therapist Overview
My ideal client is anyone who is in distress. I was struck recently by the assertion that all manner of psychological disturbance has its roots in trauma. With that in mind, their issues condense to navigating their life challenges in a relaxed body with intentions focused on where they would like to be, rather than where they are. As with all therapists, I help primarily by listening and making efforts to understand. I try to help them paint an imaginal picture of where they would like to be in life and make vivid the barriers they see in getting there. As these barriers are often fraught with anxiety, I try to couple their expressed experiences with ways to self regulate. Empathy building can take many forms, anything from an understanding nod to a sharing of a common experience. Often, just repeating back what I have heard signals the kind of empathy that so many people in distress need.
