We all experience changes in our lives, many good, some not so good.
My approach is based on the idea that over time we develop ways of seeing the world, schema, that may not fit with the place we find ourselves in at any given time. This can be especially true after experiencing a major life event.
Often when we experience a life-changing event in our lives our understanding of the world around us and our place in it changes. It is perfectly normal to experience frustration, anger, sadness, and happiness as we learn to integrate recent changes into our worldview.
Sometimes we may find ourselves unable to integrate the changes into our lives and move on without a bit of help. That’s where a therapist can help.
I use a number of strategies to work with my clients to help them understand the emotions and challenges they are experiencing and to transition to the next stage in their lives. These strategies include:
- Person-Centered Therapy – we work together to determine your goals and how best to get there
- Cognitive Therapy – adapting your understanding of the world and your responses to it to fit your recent life experiences
- Emotional Schema Therapy – understanding the emotions you are experiencing and developing appropriate ways of responding to them
We will work together to help you integrate your experiences, good and not-so-good, to transition to the place you want to be in your life,
