Personal Statement

I believe that even the most difficult symptom or behavior began as an earnest attempt to cope with something unmanageable. Understanding the purpose that symptom serves is a core component of the work of therapy. Unresolved feelings and beliefs can be explored and experienced, thus eliminating the need to hold on to a symptom that is no longer serving you. Incorporating skills to move away from the habit of using an unhelpful behavior gives a person a boost to finally break out of a difficult cycle. The creation of an authentic therapeutic relationship is the essential foundation from which the process of psychotherapy unfolds.
