Choosing to be in the helping profession was not a deliberate choice for me, but rather a calling that I couldn't ignore. Looking back, I realize that I was searching for answers to my own experiences, and the desire to help others became a natural extension of that search. I've always been fascinated by the complexities of human behavior and the intricacies of relationships.
For me, the helping profession is more than just a job - it's a way of life. It requires a deep sense of empathy and a willingness to connect with people on a profound level. While the work can be challenging, the rewards are immeasurable. The knowledge that I am making a positive impact in someone's life is what motivates me every day.
The decision to be in the helping profession may not have been a conscious one, but it's a path that I'm grateful to have taken. I'm honored to be able to use my skills and knowledge to make a difference in the lives of others, and I look forward to continuing this work for many years to come.
As a therapist, my approach is heavily influenced by psychoanalytic thinking. While I recognize the benefits of cognitive behavioral models, I find them to be somewhat limited in their scope when used alone.
I work with both children and adults, but my passion lies in helping children and adolescents navigate the challenges of growing up. I firmly believe that by helping children understand themselves better, we can reduce the acting-out behaviors that often accompany their struggles.
In my work with children, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where they feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and emotions. I believe that by fostering a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships, children can develop a stronger sense of resilience and self-confidence.
My approach is rooted in the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth and change. By working collaboratively with my clients and providing a supportive and non-judgmental space, I aim to help them overcome the obstacles that are holding them back from living their best lives.
In our sessions, my primary goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, understood, and validated. I believe that there is no greater gift than the feeling of being truly heard and seen.
For children, I use a variety of playful and symbolic interactions to help them feel more comfortable and engaged in the therapy process. I believe that therapy for children should be fun, engaging, and age-appropriate, while still addressing the issues they are struggling with.
In addition to working with children, I recognize the vital role that parents play in their child's treatment. I often meet with parents regularly, sometimes together with their child, to ensure that everyone is on the same page and that progress is being made.
Overall, you can expect a warm, empathetic, and collaborative approach to therapy. Together, we will work to identify your goals and develop a plan for achieving them. Whether you are seeking help for yourself or your child, I am committed to providing a safe and supportive space for growth and healing.
