My Purpose As A Therapist

My purpose as a therapist

My purpose as a therapist is to create a safe environment where the patient will be able to open up and explore what is going on within them. It is my job to help patients understand how to validate their feelings. Together we will work to understand why they feel the way they do, and explore different ways of coping with what is going on.

I work with families, groups, and individuals of all ages including adults, adolescence, and children. In order to see progress, I work with my patients as a team, actively listening and developing trust. I help point out how anxiety, depression, and stress are brought on by external forces: work, school, abandonment, cancer, chronic illnesses, diabetes, divorce, family issues, dependency, adoptions, unhealthy relationships, control issues, and communication problems.

I believe that everyone is dealt a certain deck of cards, and it is my job as a therapist to help you play the deck of cards the best way you possibly can.
