Therapist Overview
I believe that the start of change is through self-awareness! Being aware of triggers from past wounds may guide people at a conscious level to explore an understanding of what is occurring at their unconscious level. Unconscious memories from past wounds can at times control and influence someone’s current thought patterns, emotions and behaviors. Processing past wounds in therapy may give you more control over problematic cognitive, behavioral, and emotional patterns. I believe that people are doing the best that they can do with what they have learned. My role as your therapist is to bring your old coping skills and maladaptive thought patterns which are no longer as effective to your awareness, while making the process of change and development of new adaptations a nonthreatening experience. For many, therapy is a new unknown experience. While you are the best expert on yourself, my role as your therapist is to guide you into enhancing your toolbox of coping strategies, while developing your awareness of your cognitive and behavioral patterns so you can have a richer relationship with yourself and others in a safe, confidential, non-critical and non-judgmental environment!
